Travel Health Services
Our pharmacies in Aberfeldy, Aboyne, Ballater, Banchory, Blairgowrie, Broughty Ferry (McPhersons), and Friockheim offer private travel services, where we charge a £25 consultation fee prior to the consultation. This fee is then offset against the cost of any vaccinations or antimalarial medication you require when the total value exceeds £100.
Preparation Guide: Steps for a Safe Trip
-
When traveling abroad, especially to higher-risk destinations, vaccinations or additional protections may be required.
-
Start planning 8-12 weeks in advance, as some vaccines require multiple doses.
-
Visit the Fit for Travel website for initial guidance.
-
If you may need vaccinations or antimalarials, complete our Travel Health Questionnaire.
-
You’ll need to provide details such as your destination, length of stay, activities, and general health.
-
Additionally, obtain your vaccination history from your GP to ensure your immunisations are up to date before completing the questionnaire.
