Questions people ask about Wealdstone
Which vaccines do I need to visit family in Nigeria or Ghana from Wealdstone?
A yellow fever certificate is required for entry to both countries, and hepatitis A, typhoid, hepatitis B, meningitis ACWY and rabies are commonly considered alongside malaria prevention advice. Your exact list depends on where you stay and how long, checked against current NaTHNaC guidance.
Do I still need vaccines if I was born in the country I am visiting?
Usually yes. Any protection from childhood exposure fades, and people returning to see family often stay in homes, eat local food and travel to rural areas, which raises exposure compared with a hotel holiday. This visiting friends and relatives pattern is one of the higher risk travel groups.
How do I get to Harrow Clinics from Harrow & Wealdstone station?
Head south down the A409, the High Street and Station Road, into Harrow town centre, then walk up to 106 High Street. It is about 1.2 miles, roughly 7 minutes by car via Headstone Drive. Harrow-on-the-Hill station is also one Metropolitan line interchange away in the town centre.
Which vaccines are advised for a trip to Sri Lanka?
Hepatitis A and typhoid are the usual base because both spread through contaminated food and water, with tetanus, diphtheria and polio cover checked. Rabies and Japanese encephalitis are considered for longer rural stays, and malaria prevention advice is given for the areas on your itinerary.
How many vaccines can be given in one visit?
Several. Multiple travel vaccines can normally be given at a single appointment, usually split between arms, so a family heading to West Africa can complete most of their course in one trip to the High Street. The pharmacist sequences doses so nothing clashes.
What does a travel appointment cost in Wealdstone?
Costs depend on which vaccines the risk assessment recommends, so see our booking page for current rates. The pre-travel consultation is part of the appointment. Some vaccines such as hepatitis A, typhoid and Td/IPV are NHS-funded through GP practices for certain destinations.
Can I get a meningitis ACWY vaccine for a Saudi visa here?
Yes. Meningitis ACWY using a quadrivalent conjugate vaccine is required for Hajj and Umrah visas, must have been given at least 10 days before arrival and within the previous 5 years. The vaccine and the certificate are both handled in the same appointment.
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.
Plan for 20 to 30 minutes. That covers the pre-travel risk assessment, the vaccines, and issuing any certificates.
