Travel vaccine
£115 · 2 doses (£230 course)
Japanese Encephalitis is a mosquito-borne viral infection of the brain found in rural South and Southeast Asia, particularly around rice paddies and pig farming. Although rare in travellers, it is severe when it occurs, with high rates of death and lasting neurological damage.
Recommended for stays of a month or more in rural risk areas — backpackers, longer itineraries in India, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines, and shorter rural trips during the wet season.
Two doses, 28 days apart (an accelerated 7-day schedule is possible for adults). Complete the course at least a week before entering a risk area.
Travelling in a few weeks or a few months? Either way, we can help. Coming in four to six weeks ahead gives the most flexibility for any multi-dose courses.
Flying sooner — even this week? Please still book. We offer rapid and accelerated courses, and most travellers can be vaccinated on the same day as their appointment. Many single-dose vaccines provide protection quickly.
Had some vaccines before? Bring your records and we will check what is still in date. Often a single booster is all that is needed, and that can be given at the same visit.
A straightforward visit, usually 15–20 minutes, with no obligation to have anything you do not need.
Where you are going, what you will be doing and how long for. Bring any vaccination records you have.
Our pharmacist checks your itinerary and health history against current UK travel health guidance, and explains what is worth having.
Most vaccines are given there and then. If a rapid or accelerated course suits you better, we will plan it around your travel date.
Our pharmacist will confirm at your risk assessment — there is no obligation to have anything you do not need.
