Why Garston travellers choose us
Garston is the closest of our catchment areas to Liverpool John Lennon Airport, and it shows: this is where the last-minute bookings come from. Someone realises on the Thursday that they fly Sunday. The honest answer in that situation is that most vaccines still do useful work at short notice — hepatitis A and typhoid both start protecting within days — and a few genuinely need more time. It's worth coming in rather than assuming you've left it too late.
On distance: from Garston we're about four and a quarter miles in a straight line, with the A561 running straight in. That figure is straight-line distance rather than drive time — the A561 slows on the approach into town, 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.

Garston lives closer to a runway than anywhere else we serve. With Liverpool John Lennon Airport on the doorstep, the neighbourhood travels opportunistically — fares grabbed midweek, bags packed by Friday — and that's exactly the traveller our same-day appointments were built for. Book with 2 hours' notice, drive 15–18 minutes up the A561, and walk out vaccinated the same afternoon, with malaria tablets in the bag if your route needs them.
Travel vaccines in Liverpool: what you need to know
Liverpool departs from its own doorstep — John Lennon Airport in the south of the city, the cruise terminal on the waterfront — and its travellers are a genuine mix: students on electives and gap years, families making long visits to relatives (trips that carry more health risk than resort holidays), and pilgrims preparing for Hajj and Umrah. Whatever the trip, our Liverpool travel clinic starts with the itinerary and works it through NaTHNaC country guidance and Fit for Travel.
Common destinations
Short-haul sun rarely needs vaccines, but the step up to Morocco, Turkey or Egypt usually brings hepatitis A into play — our Morocco travel health guide covers the North Africa picture. Asia long-hauls start with hepatitis A and typhoid, with rabies and Japanese encephalitis considered for longer routes. Pilgrims flying out for Hajj or Umrah need meningitis ACWY for the Saudi visa — vaccine and certificate in one visit; NaTHNaC's factsheet explains. For Africa and the Caribbean the malaria plan is the priority — tablets including Maloff Protect prescribed and dispensed on the spot — and we advise on yellow fever entry requirements for your route as part of the consultation. Browse everything we stock.
NHS or private?
With time in hand, your GP can provide a free tetanus–diphtheria–polio booster and, for some destinations, hepatitis A and typhoid — the NHS travel vaccinations guide sets out the split. Rabies, Hajj meningitis ACWY, Japanese encephalitis and hepatitis B for travel are private everywhere. We prescribe to the UKHSA Green Book; rates are on the booking page.
Why Garston travellers book with us
Timing. When the flight is days away, "ideally 4–6 weeks ahead" isn't on offer — but most vaccines still give useful protection at short notice, and same-day slots with 2 hours' notice mean the gap between booking a fare and boarding it is enough. One visit, 20–30 minutes, jabs plus malaria tablets dispensed on the spot. Free consultation when you have your vaccines, and a 4.9 rating from 200+ Google patients.
