Why Childwall travellers choose us
Childwall is the quiet planner of south Liverpool — a residential suburb around the Childwall Valley where holidays get booked early and properly. That shows up in the appointments: Childwall patients are the ones most likely to arrive with dates, an itinerary and old vaccination records already in hand, which is genuinely the best way to do this. It means courses can run on their standard schedules instead of accelerated ones.
On distance: from Childwall we're about three and a half miles in a straight line, in via Childwall Road and Smithdown Road. That figure is straight-line distance rather than drive time, so give yourself a bit of margin at busy hours.
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.

Childwall likes things organised. It's a quiet residential suburb around the Childwall Valley where the annual holiday is booked months out and the packing list is a spreadsheet — yet vaccination is the one job that still gets left to the final fortnight, usually because nobody is quite sure what's actually needed. That's a fifteen-minute problem: the clinic is one run down Childwall Road and Smithdown Road, and the consultation answers the "what do we need?" question properly, against your itinerary.
Travel vaccines in Liverpool: what you need to know
"What do we actually need?" is the whole game in travel health, and the answer shifts with the itinerary: a fortnight in a resort, a month backpacking, a long stay with relatives and a Hajj pilgrimage all produce different lists. Liverpool generates all of them — two universities' worth of electives and gap years, strong visiting-family traffic, pilgrims from across the south of the city, and cruise and airport departures. Our Liverpool travel clinic answers the question properly, against NaTHNaC country guidance and Fit for Travel.
Common destinations
Long-haul family trips to Asia usually start with hepatitis A and typhoid, adding rabies for longer itineraries and Japanese encephalitis for rural travel in season. Mosquito-borne illness deserves its own conversation for the right destinations — we stock the chikungunya vaccine and the dengue vaccine, and we'll tell you plainly whether your trip justifies either, alongside the rest of our range. Pilgrims need meningitis ACWY for the Saudi visa — administered with the certificate in one visit; NaTHNaC's Hajj and Umrah factsheet has the rules. For Africa and the Caribbean we build the malaria plan — tablets including Maloff Protect prescribed and dispensed on the day — and advise on yellow fever entry requirements for your route as part of the consultation.
NHS or private?
With enough lead time, the NHS covers part of the list: your GP can provide a free tetanus–diphtheria–polio booster and, for some destinations, hepatitis A and typhoid — the NHS travel vaccinations guide explains which. Rabies, Hajj meningitis ACWY, Japanese encephalitis and hepatitis B for travel are private everywhere. We prescribe to the UKHSA Green Book; see the booking page for current rates.
