About the Chikungunya Vaccine
Chikungunya is a viral infection spread through mosquito bites, primarily in tropical and subtropical regions including parts of Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
The infection can cause sudden fever, severe joint pain, headaches, muscle aches, and fatigue. While most people recover fully, some may experience joint pain and stiffness for weeks or even months after infection.
Travellers spending extended periods in affected areas, particularly those participating in outdoor activities or staying in regions where mosquitoes are common, may be at increased risk of exposure.
At Earls Barton Pharmacy, we provide professional Chikungunya vaccination services alongside personalised travel health advice. Our pharmacists will assess your destination, travel plans, and medical history to determine whether the vaccine is appropriate for you.
Vaccination, together with effective mosquito bite prevention measures, can help reduce your risk of infection and support safer travel to higher-risk destinations.
