Travel Vaccination Clinic

Travelling abroad often comes with new environments, climates and activities. Our Travel Vaccination Clinic in Derby DE22 offers a straightforward way to review your travel plans and understand which vaccinations may be appropriate for your destinations.

Many people from Allestree, Darley Abbey, Markeaton, Mackworth, Quarndon, Duffield, Mickleover, Kirk Langley and Derby University book with us at Markeaton Pharmacy on Kedleston Road because the service is local, easy to arrange and provides the chance to discuss their itinerary with a trained pharmacist.

A Clear Conversation About Your Trip

Whether you’re heading away for a short break or planning a long-haul journey, your consultation will include:

• A review of the countries you’re visiting
• Discussion of activities such as trekking, rural travel or cruises
• A look at your previous vaccination history (if available)
• Guidance on typical timelines before travel
• Assessment of suitability for vaccinations available at the pharmacy

If a vaccination is appropriate and in stock, it may be offered on the same day.

Who Uses Our Travel Vaccination Service

We see a wide mix of travellers, including:

• Families going abroad for weddings or holidays
• University students taking study trips or gap years
• Professionals preparing for overseas work
• Cruise passengers
• Travellers visiting relatives abroad
• Last-minute travellers needing quick guidance

Derby residents often prefer a local option rather than waiting for GP appointments or travelling across the city.

When to Book – Including Last-Minute Travel

Ideally, travellers begin planning 4–6 weeks before their trip. However, many Derby residents book at short notice – especially students, last-minute holidaymakers and people visiting family abroad. If you’re preparing for last-minute travel, you’re still welcome to book a consultation. We’ll review your itinerary, discuss your destinations and talk through what may be suitable based on your timeframe.

Local Convenience for Derby Travellers

Our pharmacy is in an easy-to-reach location for residents of:

• Allestree & Darley Abbey
• Markeaton & Mackworth
• Quarndon & Duffield
• Mickleover & Kirk Langley
• Derby University & surrounding DE22 areas

Many people stop by on their way home, between errands or after lectures. We’re located on Kedleston Road, with nearby parking (please note: the side street leading to our car park has restricted access between 08:30–09:00 and 14:45–15:45) and convenient bus links connecting the University and Derby City Centre.

Eligibility & Safety

Suitability for each vaccination is decided during your consultation. If your plans require specialist travel services or vaccinations not provided here, the pharmacist will guide you to the appropriate provider.

When You Should Speak to Your GP Instead

You should contact your GP if you:

• Have complex or ongoing medical conditions
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have had previous reactions to vaccines
• Need vaccinations not available within a community pharmacy setting

Urgent health concerns always require NHS 111 or emergency care.
