Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know before your visit to Urmston Travel Clinic. Can't see your question? Just give us a call.
We're at Davyhulme Pharmacy, 179–181 Canterbury Road, Urmston, M41 0SE. We're easy to reach from across Trafford, just off the M60, with parking nearby and good road and tram links — no need to head into Manchester city centre.
We look after travellers from right across west Trafford and south Manchester — including Urmston, Flixton, Davyhulme, Stretford, Sale, Chorlton, Trafford Park, Old Trafford, Eccles, Monton and Partington — many of them flying out from Manchester Airport.
Booking ahead is the surest way to be seen promptly and to give us time for a proper consultation. You can book online in a couple of minutes, or call us on 0161 748 3016.
Ideally around 4 to 6 weeks before you travel, as some vaccines are given as a short course and a few (like yellow fever) need to be done at least 10 days before departure. That said, if you're leaving sooner, still get in touch — there's usually something worthwhile we can do.
Most travel consultations take around 15–20 minutes, depending on how many vaccines you need and how complex your trip is. We'll never rush you, and you're welcome to ask us anything.
Bring details of your trip (countries, dates and roughly what you'll be doing), a list of any medicines you take, and any vaccination records or certificates you already have — especially any previous yellow fever or meningitis certificates.
Yes, we can see children for many travel vaccinations. When you book, let us know their ages so we can plan the right vaccines and advice for the whole family.
We'll go through the costs with you clearly before anything is given, so there are no surprises. For current prices, see our vaccine prices page or give us a call and we'll talk it through.
Yes — where a certificate is part of the vaccination (such as the meningitis ACWY certificate for Hajj and Umrah, or a yellow fever certificate where we offer it), we provide it at your appointment. We'll also check which certificates your particular trip requires.
