Yellow Fever Vaccination

Yellow fever is a serious mosquito-borne illness found in parts of Africa and South America. Many countries in these regions require proof of vaccination as a condition of entry, often referred to as a “yellow card.” This vaccine provides lifelong protection in most cases, although some travellers may require a booster depending on their medical history.

It’s worth noting that some countries without yellow fever risk still require vaccination if you’ve recently travelled to or transited through a risk area. We offer the yellow fever vaccination through our partner pharmacy Croylands Pharmacy in Wollaston.

Travel Vaccines - Earls Barton, Northampton

Cholera Vaccine

Cholera is caused by contaminated food or water and can result in severe diarrhoea and dehydration. While it’s rare for most tourists to contract cholera, it’s a higher risk to travellers in regions such as sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and parts of the Middle East.

The cholera vaccine protection for up to two years. If you’re visiting remote areas or regions where sanitation is poor, it might be best practice to get the vaccination. You can always ask our pharmacists if they think you need it based on your planned travel and activities. Prices start from £75 for the single dose of the cholera vaccine from Earls Barton Pharmacy and travel clinic.

Rabies Travel Vaccine

Rabies is a fatal viral infection that spreads through bites or scratches from infected animals. It’s prevalent in many parts of Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. If you’re travelling to areas where contact with stray animals is likely or where medical care is limited, the rabies vaccine is highly recommended.

The vaccine is administered as a series of three injections over 21 to 28 days, so early planning is key to make sure you’re fully covered before you fly.

While the rabies vaccine doesn’t eliminate the need for post-exposure treatment if bitten, it does significantly reduce the risk of severe complications and can make all the difference. Each dose from Earls Barton is £105.

Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B Vaccine

Hepatitis A and B are two distinct liver infections that can cause severe illness. Hepatitis A is spread through contaminated food or water and is common in countries with poor sanitation, including parts of Asia, Africa, and South America. The vaccine provides long-lasting protection, typically up to 25 years after two doses.

Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids, making it a risk for healthcare workers, long-term travellers, or those participating in activities like tattooing or piercing abroad. This vaccine also requires multiple doses but provides lifelong protection. We offer both adult and paediatric versions of these vaccines at our travel clinic with prices starting from £50 per dose.

Tetanus Vaccine

Tetanus isn’t geographically specific, but the risk increases when travelling to areas where medical facilities might not be as readily available. This bacterial infection, often contracted through cuts or wounds, can cause severe muscle spasms and even death.

A single booster dose provides protection for up to 10 years so you’re covered for a long time once you have it. Our tetanus vaccines are combined with the diphtheria and polio vaccines to give you broader coverage in one injection. The vaccine is a single dose and the price starts from £50 per dose.
