Travel Clinic in North Manchester

Travelling abroad requires more than packing your suitcase and planning your itinerary. Many destinations carry health risks that can be prevented with the right vaccinations and medical advice. At Whitemoss Pharmacy, we operate the North Manchester Travel Clinic, providing comprehensive travel vaccinations, travel health assessments and personalised advice for individuals, families and business travellers.

Whether you are travelling for work, leisure, backpacking, volunteering or long-term stays, our clinic offers a reliable and professional service to ensure you are fully prepared. You can book online or visit our dedicated travel clinic website for more information.

About the North Manchester Travel Clinic

The North Manchester Travel Clinic, operated by Whitemoss Pharmacy, provides a wide range of private travel vaccinations and pre-travel health services. Our pharmacists are specially trained to deliver vaccinations and offer guidance based on international travel health recommendations, including those from the World Health Organization and NaTHNaC (UK travel health authority).

We pride ourselves on delivering clear, accessible and personalised advice for travellers of all ages. Whether you are planning a short city break, a multi-destination trip or long-term travel, our clinic will help ensure that your journey is as safe and healthy as possible.

Why Travel Vaccinations Matter

Different parts of the world carry specific risks that are not present in the UK. Travel vaccinations help protect you from serious illnesses that may not have routine vaccinations in the UK. Some vaccinations are recommended for your safety, while others are a legal requirement for entry into certain countries.

By attending the North Manchester Travel Clinic, you will receive tailored advice on:

  • Vaccinations needed for your destination
  • Recommended medicines
  • Prevention of insect-borne diseases
  • Food and water safety
  • Malaria prevention
  • Health risks based on your itinerary, season and activities

Proper travel preparation helps reduce risk and ensures peace of mind throughout your trip.

  • Hepatitis A

We review your travel details, medical history and vaccination records before recommending the appropriate vaccines for your trip.

What Happens During a Travel Clinic Appointment?

A travel appointment at the North Manchester Travel Clinic is thorough, informative and tailored to your needs. The process includes:

Travel questionnaire

We review key details such as destination, travel dates, length of stay, planned activities, stopovers and accommodation types.

Medical history and vaccination review

We check your vaccination history and current health to determine which vaccines are required or recommended.

Personalised travel health plan

Your vaccinator will discuss medical risks associated with your destinations and provide tailored advice.

Vaccination administration

Vaccinations are administered safely in the pharmacy consultation room.

Advice on timings

Some vaccines require multiple doses or specific intervals, so we will advise you on the correct schedule.

It is recommended that you book your appointment at least 4–6 weeks before travelling, although we can still support last-minute travellers.

How Long Do Travel Vaccinations Last?

Duration of protection varies by vaccine. Some require boosters every few years, while others provide long-term protection. During your appointment, we will explain how long each vaccination lasts and whether you may require boosters for future trips.

Who Provides the Vaccinations?

All vaccinations at the North Manchester Travel Clinic are administered by trained pharmacists who have undergone accredited vaccination and travel health training. Our team follows strict clinical and safety protocols in line with UK guidelines.

Who Can Use the Travel Clinic?

Our clinic is suitable for:

  • Solo travellers
  • Couples and families
  • Business travellers
  • Students and gap year travellers
  • Adventure holidaymakers
  • Pilgrims travelling for Hajj or Umrah
  • Long-term travellers and expatriates
  • Cruise travellers
  • Backpackers and multi-country travellers

We offer travel vaccines for adults and children, depending on individual vaccine licensing and suitability.

When Should You Book Your Travel Vaccinations?

Ideally, you should book your travel vaccinations as soon as you begin planning your trip. Some vaccines take several weeks to become fully effective, and others require more than one dose.

However, we can still provide support for last-minute travellers. Even a single dose before departure may offer partial protection and is better than travelling unvaccinated.

What to Bring to Your Appointment

To help us provide accurate advice, please bring:

  • Any previous vaccination records
  • Details of your itinerary
  • A list of current medications
  • Your medical history
  • Information about allergies or past reactions

If you do not have vaccination records, do not worry. We will still assess your needs based on your travel plans.
