At Everest Pharmacy in Manchester, we offer a comprehensive range of travel vaccinations tailored to your specific destination. With our expert guidance and top-notch services, you can embark on your trip with confidence, knowing that you have taken the necessary precautions to protect your well-being. In this article, we will explore the importance of travel vaccinations and how Everest Pharmacy can assist you in ensuring a healthy journey.
What are Travel Vaccines?
A vaccine is a specific kind of medication that prepares the body’s immune system to combat a disease it has never encountered before. The purpose of vaccination is to prevent disease rather than treat it once it has been contracted. Travel vaccines are immunisations made to protect against diseases that can be contracted in other nations.
Why Are Travel Vaccinations Important?
Travelling exposes you to various diseases like yellow fever and hepatitis B, as well as health risks that may not be prevalent in your home country. Different regions of the world have different disease patterns and levels of immunisation. By receiving travel vaccinations, you equip your body with the necessary defences against potentially harmful illnesses. These vaccinations work by stimulating your immune system to produce antibodies, providing protection against specific diseases.
What Vaccines Will I Need?
Every traveller has different needs, and our team of skilled healthcare professionals at Everest Pharmacy are conscious of this. You can check which vaccinations are required for the areas you’ll be visiting on NHS Fit for Travel.
To provide individualised vaccination advice, we consider elements like your travel destination, length of stay, anticipated activities, and medical history. We make sure that you get the necessary vaccinations to protect your health, whether you’re going on a business trip, exploring a remote wilderness, or visiting a tropical paradise.
Ideally, you should get vaccinated at least 21 days (sometimes more for others such as the Rabies vaccine) before you travel to your destination. This will ensure that your body has time to produce all the antibodies needed for maximum protection.
What Are the Options?
Some of the options are:
- – Hepatitis B
- – Japanese Encephalitis
- – Meningitis
- – Rabies
- – Thick-borne Encephalitis
- – Tuberculosis (TB)
- – Yellow Fever
The cost for these vaccines will vary depending on the vaccine and the number of doses you need.

Things to Consider
Speak to your GP or one of our health professionals before having any vaccinations if:
- – You are pregnant
- – You think you might be pregnant
- – You are breastfeeding
In many cases, administering a vaccine while you’re pregnant or breastfeeding is unlikely to cause problems for the baby.
Non-travel Vaccines
It’s a good opportunity to ensure that your other UK vaccinations are up to date and that you have booster shots if necessary, in addition to receiving any necessary travel vaccinations.
People in certain risk groups may be offered extra vaccines.
These include vaccinations against diseases such as:
- – Flu
- – Chickenpox
- – Tuberculosis (TB)
- – Hepatitis B
