Questions people ask about Harrow on the Hill
Can I walk to a travel clinic from Harrow-on-the-Hill station?
Yes. Harrow Clinics is at 106 High Street, a short walk up from Harrow-on-the-Hill station at the foot of the hill. The Metropolitan line and Chiltern Railways both serve that station, so travellers coming from elsewhere in HA1 can reach the clinic on foot in a few minutes.
How soon before a long-haul holiday should I book travel vaccines?
Aim for four to six weeks before departure. That leaves room for courses that need more than one dose, such as rabies or Japanese encephalitis, and for the yellow fever certificate, which only becomes valid 10 days after vaccination. Later appointments still help, so book even if your trip is close.
What actually happens at a travel health consultation?
The pharmacist reviews your itinerary, dates, activities, age and medical history against current NaTHNaC country guidance, then recommends vaccines and any malaria prevention advice. Vaccines you agree to are given in the same appointment and certificates are printed before you leave. Allow 20 to 30 minutes.
Can I get a yellow fever certificate on Harrow High Street?
Yes. Harrow Clinics is a registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre, YFVC No. 5291, so the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis is issued at 106 High Street on the day. Under current International Health Regulations the certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination and then lasts for life.
Do I need travel vaccines for a Caribbean holiday?
Usually hepatitis A and tetanus, diphtheria and polio cover are the starting point, with typhoid considered for longer stays or rural areas. A few Caribbean countries ask for a yellow fever certificate if you have transited an affected country. The pharmacist checks your exact route at the consultation.
Can a whole family be seen in one appointment?
Yes. Families travelling together are usually booked into consecutive slots so everyone is assessed and vaccinated in one trip to the High Street. Most travel vaccines are licensed from 1 year of age and yellow fever from 9 months, and each child gets their own schedule.
Does a travel vaccine appointment hurt?
Most people describe a brief sting and some arm soreness for a day or two. Injections are given into the upper arm and mild redness or a low grade temperature can follow. Tell the pharmacist if you are anxious about needles and the appointment can be paced accordingly.
Is there parking near 106 High Street?
There is parking nearby in Harrow on the Hill, and the clinic sits on the High Street itself so most HA1 residents simply walk. If you are driving in from elsewhere in the borough, the town centre car parks below the hill are the practical option.

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.
