Why West Derby travellers choose us
West Derby books more travel appointments with us than almost anywhere — an established family suburb between the historic village centre and Croxteth Hall that takes its holidays seriously. It is also, at four miles, one of the further catchments, which tells you something: people are choosing to come rather than defaulting to the nearest option, usually because they want everything done in one visit rather than spread across a GP practice and a pharmacy.
On distance: from West Derby we're about four miles in a straight line, in via Queens Drive and West Derby Road. That figure is straight-line distance rather than drive time — Queens Drive is slow at peak, 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.

West Derby books more travel appointments with us than almost any other neighbourhood — and it makes sense. An established family suburb with a proper historic village centre and Croxteth Hall and Country Park on the doorstep, it's a place where holidays are planned seriously: the big summer trip, the winter escape, the honeymoon, the anniversary safari. Serious trips deserve a serious travel-health plan, and enough West Derby households have decided we're the place to get one that word of mouth now does our advertising for us.
Travel vaccines in Liverpool: what you need to know
Liverpool's travel profile is broad — university electives and gap years, long family visits abroad (which carry more health risk than resort stays, because you live like a local), Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages, cruises from the city terminal. The one constant: what you need depends on the itinerary. At our Liverpool travel clinic, every recommendation is checked against NaTHNaC country guidance and Fit for Travel — no generic checklists.
Common destinations
West Derby's bookings skew toward family long-haul and milestone trips. For Asia — Thailand, India, Vietnam — hepatitis A and typhoid are the base, with rabies and Japanese encephalitis considered for longer or rural itineraries. North Africa package favourites are covered in guides like Tunisia travel health. Pilgrims need meningitis ACWY for the Saudi visa — given at least 10 days before arrival, certificate issued the same visit; NaTHNaC's Hajj and Umrah factsheet explains the requirement. For safaris and the Caribbean we build a malaria plan — tablets, including Maloff Protect, prescribed and dispensed on the day — and we advise on yellow fever entry requirements for your route as part of the consultation. Browse everything we stock.
NHS or private?
Your GP can provide a free tetanus–diphtheria–polio booster and, for certain destinations, hepatitis A and typhoid — if there's time before you fly; the NHS travel vaccinations page sets out the rules. 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.
