 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The pharmacist was extremely helpful so far as advice regarding what vaccinations would be necessary or advisable for my forthcoming trip to South East Asia.   He administered the vaccinations painlessly and without any problems.   I'd definitely recommend.
