Typhoid and Hepatitis A & B vaccinations are among the most commonly recommended for travellers to India, South East Asia and Africa. Our pharmacists provide expert pre-travel advice and administer vaccines in a single convenient appointment.
Where you’re going
Vaccination requirements vary by destination. Here are some of the most common
regions our patients travel to, and the vaccines typically recommended.
One of the most commonly visited destinations from the UK. Typhoid and Hepatitis A are strongly recommended for all travellers, including those visiting family.
Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bali and surrounding countries. Typhoid risk is present, particularly in rural areas and when eating street food.
East and West Africa carry significant typhoid and hepatitis risk, particularly outside major cities. Often combined with Yellow Fever and malaria prevention.
Understanding the vaccines
Typhoid fever is a serious bacterial infection spread through contaminated food and water. It is common in parts of South Asia and Africa where sanitation may be limited.
Available as a single injection or a 3-capsule oral course. Protection lasts approximately 3 years (injection) or 1–3 years (oral).
Hepatitis A is a viral liver infection spread through contaminated food and water. It is recommended for most international travel outside Northern and Western Europe, North America and Australia.
A single dose provides protection for up to 1 year. A booster given 6–12 months later extends protection to 25+ years.
Hepatitis B is spread through blood and bodily fluids. Recommended for travellers at higher risk — including those receiving medical treatment abroad, or travelling for extended periods to high-prevalence areas.
Standard course: 3 doses over 6 months. Accelerated course available for last-minute travel. Often combined with Hep A as a single vaccine (Twinrix).
If you need more than one vaccine, our pharmacist can administer multiple vaccines in the same appointment, assess your full travel health needs, and advise on any additional precautions for your destination.
Bring your travel itinerary and travel dates to your appointment for the most accurate advice.
Timing matters — some vaccines need time to take effect before you travel.
Booking 2 or more weeks before travel allows vaccines to take full effect and gives time for a booster if needed.
Even a few days before travel is better than no protection. Some vaccines provide partial cover quickly. Contact us and we’ll advise.
If you need a full Hepatitis B course, an accelerated schedule is available. Speak to our pharmacist about your travel dates.
Please bring your travel itinerary (destination and travel dates) to your appointment. No
payment is taken until after your consultation.
