Why Liverpool travellers get hepatitis A cover here
If your trip needs exactly one vaccine, it's usually this one. Hepatitis A is among the most commonly recommended travel vaccines in the world — advised for most of Africa, Asia, Central and South America and the Middle East — and the first dose is a single injection, ideally a couple of weeks before you fly.
The clinic is led by Muneer Saleh, a GPhC-registered pharmacist and Independent Prescriber, at Cares Chemist on Myrtle Street — a registered pharmacy premises (GPhC 1114685). No GP referral is needed, same-day appointments are often available within 2 hours, and we're rated 4.9 on Google by more than 200 patients.
The clever part is the booster: a second dose 6–12 months after the first extends protection to around 25 years. Most patients book it before they leave the clinic — one small piece of admin that covers decades of holidays.
Simple vaccine, properly done.

If travel vaccines had a bestseller list, hepatitis A would top it. It's advised for most of Africa, Asia, Central and South America and the Middle East — which, between Liverpool's package-holiday favourites, backpacking routes and family trips abroad, covers a remarkable share of the itineraries that walk through our door. The infection spreads through contaminated food and water, so ordinary eating and drinking is exposure enough; you don't need to be doing anything adventurous to benefit from the vaccine.
At our Liverpool travel clinic we confirm the recommendation against NaTHNaC country guidance and Fit for Travel for your exact route — resort stays, city breaks, family visits and rural travel all count, with longer and more local-style trips carrying more exposure.
The course and schedule
| Dose | When | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| First dose | Ideally 2 weeks before travel — still effective given closer to departure | Covers the trip ahead |
| Booster | 6–12 months after the first dose | Extends protection to around 25 years |
That second row is the part travellers thank us for later: complete the booster within the 6–12 month window and hepatitis A drops off your pre-trip checklist for around 25 years. We note the window on your vaccination record and most patients diarise the booster before they leave the clinic. See our booking page for current prices.
Same-day and last-minute hepatitis A jabs in Liverpool
Booked a deal that flies on Friday?

We're a walk-in-friendly city centre clinic, open until 6pm on weekdays and on Saturday mornings — a hepatitis A jab near you in Liverpool is genuinely a lunch-break job.
What's included
Your appointment covers a pharmacist consultation checked against current NaTHNaC guidance, the vaccination itself, a written vaccination record with your booster window marked, and aftercare plus food-and-water advice. Anything specific to your health history is confirmed at your consultation.
Getting to the clinic
Find us at 37 Myrtle Street, L7 7AJ — Georgian Quarter, city centre, near the universities and the Royal Liverpool Hospital, with on-street parking nearby. We serve all of Liverpool and Merseyside; south Liverpool patients often arrive via our Allerton and Childwall pages. Hepatitis A is most often paired with the typhoid vaccine — the other great food-and-water vaccine — and for longer or working trips the hepatitis B course is worth reading about too.
