Questions people ask about Edgware
What is the quickest drive from Edgware to a travel clinic?
Come off the A5 Edgware Road and head west along Whitchurch Lane towards Harrow on the Hill, roughly 4 miles and about 16 minutes. Harrow Clinics is at 106 High Street on the hilltop High Street. Outside peak times it is a straightforward run, and there is parking nearby in Harrow town centre.
Can I get a travel vaccine at short notice if I fly next week?
Yes, short-notice appointments are worth booking because most travel vaccines still give useful protection when given close to departure. The exception to plan around is yellow fever, where the certificate only becomes valid 10 days after vaccination. Book online through the travel booking page or call 020 8869 1200.
How many doses of hepatitis A do I need?
A single dose protects you for the trip itself, and a second dose 6 to 12 months later extends protection for around 25 years. Hepatitis A is spread through contaminated food and water. If you have had one dose before, bring the record so the course is completed rather than restarted.
What should I bring to a travel appointment?
Bring your full itinerary with dates and countries, any vaccination records or old certificates, and a list of your regular medicines. For children the red book is useful. That lets the pharmacist count doses you have already had and avoid repeating a course unnecessarily.
Can the whole family be vaccinated before a school holiday trip?
Yes. Most travel vaccines are licensed from 1 year of age and yellow fever from 9 months, so children and adults travelling together can be assessed in the same session. Each person gets an individual risk assessment, because age and medical history change what is suitable.
Do I need travel vaccinations for a trip to Israel?
Routine UK immunisations come first, with hepatitis A and typhoid considered depending on where you are staying, how long, and what you will be eating. Recommendations follow current TravelHealthPro country guidance rather than a fixed package, and are made during the consultation.
Can I get travel vaccines without going through my Edgware GP?
Yes. Private travel clinics take self-referrals, so you can book directly whether or not your practice offers travel appointments. Some vaccines are NHS funded at GP practices for certain destinations, so if you have time it is worth asking your practice first, then coming here for the rest.
Is there anywhere to park near the clinic?
The clinic is at 106 High Street in Harrow on the Hill with parking nearby in and around Harrow town centre. If you would rather not drive from Edgware, the Northern line connects into central London and the Metropolitan line runs into Harrow-on-the-Hill station at the foot of the hill.
Avni Kanabar is a GPhC-registered pharmacist at Harrow Clinics, a registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre (YFVC No. 5291) on Harrow on the Hill High Street, providing pharmacist-led travel health for the HA community.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions from Harrow travellers.
No. Anyone can self-refer to a private travel clinic. Book directly online or call 020 8869 1200.
Meningitis ACWY (Menveo) is mandatory for the Saudi Arabia visa and must have been given within the last 5 years. We administer it and issue the certificate the same visit. Hepatitis A, Typhoid and seasonal flu are also worth considering depending on your itinerary.
Ideally 4 to 6 weeks before travel, especially for vaccines that need multiple doses like Rabies or Japanese Encephalitis. For Hajj jabs and most single-dose vaccines, same-week appointments are fine. Even at short notice most travel vaccines still help.
It depends on where you are going, how long, your activities, age and medical history. We do not sell a generic package, every recommendation is based on your itinerary against current NaTHNaC guidance. The pre-travel consultation is included.
Some are. Combined Tetanus, Diphtheria and Polio, Hepatitis A and Typhoid are NHS-funded for certain destinations through GP practices. Yellow Fever, Rabies, Hajj jabs, Japanese Encephalitis, Hepatitis B for tourism and others are private. If you have time it is worth asking your GP about the NHS-funded ones first.
Yes. Most travel vaccines are licensed from 1 year of age, Yellow Fever from 9 months. We work out the right schedule for each child.
