Travel jabs for Trafford Park, minutes from work
We're Urmston Travel Clinic at Davyhulme Pharmacy — a short drive from the Trafford Park estate, so you can sort your travel vaccines around a working day or before a holiday.
We're Urmston Travel Clinic, run from Davyhulme Pharmacy at 179–181 Canterbury Road in Urmston. Trafford Park sits right on our doorstep — the big estate of offices, warehouses and units between us and the Manchester Ship Canal, with the Trafford Centre at its far end — so we see a lot of people who work on the park as well as those living on its edges.
If you're heading abroad for a holiday, a wedding back home or a work trip, you don't have to take half a day off to get sorted. Pop over from the park, tell our pharmacist where you're going, and we'll talk you through the vaccines and travel-health advice you actually need — plain English, no jargon, and most jabs done the same visit.
Popular travel vaccines
We offer the full range — here are some of the most requested.
Yellow fever
Needed for parts of Africa and South America, and often required for your entry certificate at the border.
Hepatitis A
One of the most common travel jabs we give — it's spread through contaminated food and water.
Typhoid
Worth having for many trips to Asia, Africa and parts of the Americas.
Hepatitis B
Often sensible for longer stays or work placements abroad — given as a short course.
Getting to us from Trafford Park
We're an easy run from anywhere on the estate. Head away from the Ship Canal and the Trafford Centre, back towards Urmston and Davyhulme, and you'll find us on Canterbury Road near Davyhulme Park. If you're coming by car, the M60 (junctions 9 and 10) loops you round to Urmston in just a few minutes, whichever part of the park you set off from. There's parking close to the pharmacy, so it's quick to nip in and back out again.
Fitting it around the working day
Plenty of our Trafford Park travellers are squeezing a visit in around a shift or a lunch break, so we keep things efficient. Let us know roughly when you're coming and we'll have your details and vaccines ready, so you're not hanging about once you arrive. If you're travelling for work, just bring the basics on where you're going and how long for, and we'll match the right jabs and any malaria advice to the trip.
Areas around Trafford Park we look after
As well as the main estate, we regularly see travellers from the streets around Trafford Park village, Old Trafford and Gorse Hill, plus the docks and Wharfside area down by the Imperial War Museum North and the canal. Whether you work on the park or live nearby, you're only a short trip from the clinic — and you'll always see a pharmacist who knows the area.
