How to Get Your Travel Vaccines at Rose Pharmacy
Step 1: Book a Consultation
Visit our pharmacy or call to schedule a consultation with our trained pharmacists. During the consultation, we will assess your travel plans, medical history, and vaccination needs.
Step 2: Receive Your Vaccinations
We will administer the necessary vaccines in our private consultation room. Some vaccines require multiple doses, so it’s best to plan your visit well in advance of your trip.
Step 3: Travel with Confidence
With your vaccinations complete, you can travel with peace of mind knowing that you are protected against potential health risks.
When Should You Get Vaccinated?
We recommend booking your travel vaccinations at least 4-6 weeks before departure to allow time for the vaccines to take full effect. Some vaccinations require multiple doses over several weeks, so early planning is essential.
Other Travel Health Services
Malaria Prophylaxis:
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by Plasmodium parasites carried by Anopheles mosquitoes. While malaria is curable, it leads to fever, chills, and flu-like symptoms, and can cause severe illness. Prevention includes using insect repellent, sleeping under bed nets, and taking antimalarial medications when travelling to high-risk areas. Prompt treatment is crucial for preventing potentially life-threatening complications.
Altitude Sickness Tablets:
Altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS), can occur when travelling to high altitudes too quickly. It causes symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue as the body struggles to adjust to reduced oxygen levels. Treatment helps alleviate discomfort and allows for better acclimatisation.
Period Delay:
Period delay tablets offer a simple way to postpone your period for travel, events, or personal plans. Norethisterone 5mg tablets help delay your cycle when needed. Ordering online is fast and discreet, with prescriptions reviewed by licensed prescribers and quick UK delivery.
