Why Liverpool travellers get their typhoid jab here
Typhoid is one of the most frequently recommended travel vaccines we give, and one of the simplest: a single injection, ideally two or more weeks before travel, giving around three years of protection. Liverpool's strong family ties to South Asia — where risk is highest — make it a staple of our appointment book.
The clinic is led by Muneer Saleh, a GPhC-registered pharmacist and Independent Prescriber, at Cares Chemist on Myrtle Street — a registered pharmacy premises (GPhC 1114685). No GP referral is needed, same-day appointments are often available within 2 hours, and we're rated 4.9 on Google by more than 200 patients.
Because typhoid spreads through contaminated food and water, the vaccine is only half the appointment — your pharmacist also covers the practical food, drink and hygiene habits that protect you where the vaccine can't.
One visit, everything handled.

Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread through contaminated food and water, and for Liverpool travellers it's one of the most commonly recommended vaccines on the appointment sheet. The risk is highest in South Asia — India, Pakistan and Bangladesh — and that matters here: a large share of our typhoid appointments are families flying out to visit relatives. Typhoid is also present across Africa, South East Asia and Latin America, so plenty of itineraries qualify. At our Liverpool travel clinic, every recommendation is checked against NaTHNaC country guidance rather than a generic checklist.
The travellers we most often vaccinate:
- Anyone visiting friends and relatives abroad — living like a local raises exposure through home-cooked food and local water
- Longer stays, and trips into rural areas or smaller towns
- Backpackers and street-food enthusiasts on any budget route through Asia
- Families taking children to higher-risk destinations
The course and schedule
This is the easy part — the injected typhoid vaccine is a single dose:
| Course | Doses | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Typhoid injection | 1 | Ideally 2+ weeks before travel — still worthwhile closer to departure |
| Booster | 1 | Around every 3 years for repeat travellers |
Protection lasts around three years, which quietly covers several trips — and if you're a regular visitor to family abroad, a booster every three years keeps the cover rolling. See our booking page for current prices.
The vaccine is half the answer
Because typhoid travels in food and water, careful habits do real work alongside the vaccine: your pharmacist covers the practical rules — what to eat, what to avoid, what to do about water — as part of the same consultation, with advice grounded in Fit for Travel guidance.
Same-day and last-minute typhoid jabs in Liverpool
A single-dose vaccine is made for late planners. Ideally you'd book two or more weeks before flying, but if the trip crept up on you the vaccine is still worthwhile close to departure — and we can usually see you today, often within 2 hours of booking. The clinic is walk-in-friendly, in the city centre, open until 6pm on weekdays and on Saturday mornings.
What's included
Your appointment covers a pharmacist consultation, the typhoid vaccination itself, a written vaccination record and aftercare advice — plus the food-and-water briefing that typhoid specifically calls for. Anything particular to your health history is confirmed at your consultation.
Getting to the clinic
We're at 37 Myrtle Street, L7 7AJ, in the Georgian Quarter — city centre, near the universities and the Royal Liverpool Hospital, with on-street parking nearby — serving the whole of Liverpool and Merseyside. Patients also find us through our local pages for Toxteth and Sefton Park. Typhoid is usually considered alongside the hepatitis A vaccine — the other big food-and-water vaccine — and, for aid workers and long rural stays, the oral cholera vaccine.
