Why Allerton travellers choose us
Allerton's travel bookings look like Allerton: family holidays planned around school terms, often with two or three children who each need a different schedule. That is the practical work of the appointment here — not choosing vaccines so much as sequencing them, so that a nine-year-old, a fourteen-year-old and two adults all finish before the same departure date.
On distance: from Allerton we're a bit under four miles in a straight line, a straight run in from the Allerton Road shops. That figure is straight-line distance rather than drive time, and the run in is slower at school-run hours, so give yourself a bit of margin.
Worth knowing what else is available before you book. Your GP practice can give some travel vaccines on the NHS — tetanus, diphtheria and polio, and for some destinations hepatitis A and typhoid — but practices usually want several weeks' notice and don't hold the private vaccines. Well Travelled Clinics at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine is the city's best-known travel service and has real specialist depth, though its sessions run to set weekday afternoons. We're a pharmacist-led clinic: you see an Independent Prescriber, you can usually be seen the same day on two hours' notice, and vaccines, certificates and malaria prevention tablets are all handled in one visit.
One pattern we've seen from running our own search advertising across Liverpool for eighteen months: nearly one in five people searching for travel vaccines in this city searches for a named clinic rather than a vaccine or a destination. People here start with a building. That's fine — but check opening times and lead times before you settle on one, because in practice that is what decides whether you get vaccinated before you fly, not the name over the door.
The clinic is run by GPhC-registered pharmacists — Ibraheim Mohammed (2232900), Pharmacist Manager, and Muneer Saleh (2078940), Independent Prescriber — at Chemist Cares, 37 Myrtle Street, registered pharmacy premises GPhC 1114685. No GP referral is needed and the consultation is free when you have your vaccines with us. We hold every major travel vaccine on site — hepatitis A and B, typhoid, rabies, dengue, Japanese encephalitis, tick-borne encephalitis, chikungunya, meningitis ACWY, cholera and whooping cough — and because an Independent Prescriber runs the clinic, malaria prevention tablets are prescribed and dispensed in the same visit.
Everything you need in one appointment.

Allerton books travel the way a family suburb does: around school terms, with grandparents joining, and with two or three children who each need a different vaccination schedule. Between the Allerton Road shops and Calderstones Park, half the neighbourhood seems to head somewhere warm every summer — Turkey, Egypt, further afield — and the practical question is always the same: how does the whole family get protected without three separate appointments in three separate places? The answer is one booking, 12–15 minutes down Smithdown Road.
Travel vaccines in Liverpool: what you need to know
Liverpool's travellers don't fit one template — students on electives from the universities, families visiting relatives abroad for weeks at a time, pilgrims bound for Hajj and Umrah, cruise passengers leaving from the city terminal. Long visiting-family stays in particular carry more health risk than resort holidays, because you eat, live and travel like a local. Our Liverpool travel clinic plans around that reality, using NaTHNaC's country guidance and Fit for Travel for every itinerary.
Common destinations
Family favourites first: for Turkey, Tunisia and Egypt, hepatitis A is the usual recommendation, sometimes with typhoid — our Tunisia travel health guide covers the North Africa picture. Longer-haul trips to Asia bring rabies and Japanese encephalitis into the conversation for the right itineraries. Pilgrims need meningitis ACWY for the Saudi visa, given at least 10 days before arrival — NaTHNaC's Hajj and Umrah factsheet explains — and we administer it and issue the certificate in one visit. For Africa and the Caribbean we sort the malaria plan, prescribing and dispensing tablets including Maloff Protect on the day, and we advise on yellow fever entry requirements for your route as part of the consultation. The full range is on our vaccines page.
NHS or private?
If the trip is far enough out, your GP can give a free tetanus–diphtheria–polio booster and, for some destinations, hepatitis A and typhoid — see the NHS travel vaccinations guide. Rabies, Hajj meningitis ACWY, Japanese encephalitis and hepatitis B for travel are always private. Our clinical reference is the UKHSA Green Book; rates are on the booking page.
Why Allerton travellers book with us
Families are our thing. Most travel vaccines are licensed from a young age, and we plan each child's schedule individually — then run the whole family through one appointment, usually 20–30 minutes end to end. School-holiday deadlines are covered by same-day availability with 2 hours' notice, the consultation is free when you have your vaccines with us, and Saturday morning openings mean nobody misses school or work. Rated 4.9 by 200+ patients on Google.
