What Our Customers Say?

Overall Rating 4.7 / 32 reviews on Google

Very helpful and caring. Always a kind word no matter how busy they are (very often). If a required drug is not in stock, they will order it with the statement that it will be here tomorrow.

Chris Latter

Lovely friendly helpful staff, nice range of alternative holistic therapies as well as the usual pharmacy medicines. I strongly believe in supporting our local independent shops because if they went we would be lost.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I get travel vaccines before my trip?

We recommend consulting with us 6-8 weeks before travel, as some vaccines require multiple doses spread over time to provide full protection. However, even if you're travelling at short notice, we can still help - many vaccines can provide protection within 1-2 weeks, and we offer accelerated schedules for certain vaccines.

Do I really need travel vaccines if I'm staying in tourist areas?

Even in tourist areas and luxury accommodations, you may be exposed to infectious diseases through food, water, insects, or contact with locals. Many vaccine-preventable diseases are present in popular travel destinations, and getting vaccinated is one of the most effective ways to ensure your trip isn't ruined by preventable illness.

How do I know which travel vaccines I need?

During your consultation at Chappells Pharmacy, our expert pharmacists will assess your needs based on your specific destinations, planned activities, duration of stay, medical history, and current outbreaks. We stay updated with the latest recommendations from UK health authorities and the World Health Organization to provide tailored advice.

Are travel vaccines covered by the NHS?

Most travel vaccines are not available free on the NHS. At Chappells Pharmacy, we offer competitive pricing for all travel vaccines, with transparent costs explained during your consultation. Some vaccines like Hepatitis A and Typhoid may be available on the NHS through your GP, and we can advise which route is best for your circumstances.

How long do travel vaccines remain effective?

Protection duration varies significantly between vaccines - from one year for vaccines like Typhoid to lifelong immunity for vaccines like Yellow Fever after a single dose. During your consultation, we'll explain how long each vaccine lasts and whether boosters will be needed for future travel.
