Why Old Swan travellers choose us
From the Prescot Road shops it's one run in — the A57 through Kensington and down to the Georgian Quarter. Old Swan patients tend to fold us into something else they were doing anyway, and the appointment is built for that: 20 to 30 minutes, everything in one visit, nothing that needs you to come back unless the vaccine itself requires a second dose.
On distance: from Old Swan we're a little over two miles in a straight line. That figure is straight-line distance rather than drive time — the A57 into Kensington backs up at school run and rush hour, 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.
Written and clinically reviewed by Muneer Saleh, Superintendent Pharmacist and Independent Prescriber (GPhC 2078940), with Ibraheim Mohammed, Pharmacist Manager (GPhC 2232900). Cares Chemist, 37 Myrtle Street, Liverpool L7 7AJ — GPhC-registered pharmacy premises 1114685, operated by Ramsal Limited. Both registrations are verifiable on the General Pharmaceutical Council register.

Old Swan runs on Prescot Road — the long, practical shopping stretch where the neighbourhood gets things done — and we think travel vaccination should be exactly that kind of job: booked like an errand, finished in half an hour, ticked off the list. The clinic is a straight 10–12 minute run down the A57 and Kensington from the Prescot Road shops, with on-street parking nearby at our end, and same-day appointments if the holiday countdown got away from you.
Travel vaccines in Liverpool: what you need to know
Liverpool is a travelling city — students leave on electives and gap years from both universities, families make long visits to relatives overseas, pilgrims prepare for Hajj and Umrah, and cruise ships and John Lennon Airport carry the rest. Different trips, different risks: a month living with family abroad needs different cover from a week in a resort. Every consultation at our Liverpool travel clinic is built on NaTHNaC's country pages and Fit for Travel, not a one-size checklist.
Common destinations
Package favourites — Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia — mostly call for hepatitis A, sometimes with typhoid. Asia long-hauls step it up: hepatitis A and typhoid as the base, rabies for longer or more rural trips, Japanese encephalitis where region and season warrant it. Pilgrims need meningitis ACWY for the Saudi visa — vaccine and certificate in the same visit; see NaTHNaC's Hajj and Umrah factsheet. For Africa and the Caribbean we sort the malaria plan — tablets including Maloff Protect dispensed on the day — and advise on yellow fever entry requirements for your route as part of the consultation. Some itineraries also justify the cholera vaccine; the full list is on our vaccines page.
NHS or private?
Given enough notice, your GP can provide a free tetanus–diphtheria–polio booster and, for some destinations, hepatitis A and typhoid — the NHS travel vaccinations guide shows which. Rabies, Hajj meningitis ACWY, Japanese encephalitis and hepatitis B for travel are private everywhere. We work to the UKHSA Green Book; current rates are on the booking page.
