These are courses. If you're flying in days, you may not be able to complete one before you go — the pharmacist will tell you honestly what's still worth starting.
- Rabies — a course of 3 doses over 21–28 days
- Hepatitis B — a course of 3 doses; accelerated schedules may be possible, so ask early
- Japanese encephalitis — 2 doses, typically 28 days apart
- Tick-borne encephalitis — a course of 3 doses
- Cholera — 2 oral doses 1–6 weeks apart, finished at least a week before travel
- Chickenpox — 2 doses, 4–8 weeks apart
South London Clinic is a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre — we provide the yellow fever vaccine and issue the ICVP certificate here.
Same-day appointments are often available but never guaranteed — it depends on the day, the clinic list and what's in stock. Some protection is better than none: even if you can't finish a course, a pharmacist will tell you what still helps in the time you have.

What to bring to a same-day appointment
None of it is essential — come as you are if you're short of time. But the more of this you have with you, the more the pharmacist can do in one visit.

Short-notice questions
Leaving it late, answered honestly.
Flying soon? The fastest answer is a phone call — ring 020 75826344 and ask for the travel clinic.
You're welcome to come in and ask — we're a working pharmacy on Kennington High Street and someone will always speak to you. But travel appointments use the private consultation room and a pharmacist's time, so whether you can be seen there and then depends on the day. Calling 020 75826344 first is much quicker than a wasted journey: we'll tell you honestly what's free today.
Usually, yes. Some protection is better than none, and several travel vaccines are a single dose that still does useful work when given close to departure. What you can't do the day before is complete a course like rabies or hepatitis B. A pharmacist will tell you plainly what still helps in the time you have, what won't, and what to do instead — including malaria prevention, bite avoidance and food and water advice, which matter whatever your vaccination status.
You'll go through your trip with a pharmacist — destinations, dates, what you'll be doing and your health and vaccination history — and they'll explain what's usually advised and what it costs. Anything suitable, in stock and clinically appropriate that day can be given in the private room, and you leave with a record of it. [CLIENT TO CONFIRM: typical appointment length for a same-day travel appointment]
Yes. South London Clinic is a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre — we provide the yellow fever vaccine and issue the ICVP certificate here.
The vaccines are priced the same whenever you have them — see the travel vaccine price list. The pharmacist confirms the price with you before anything goes ahead. [CLIENT TO CONFIRM: whether any separate fee applies to a same-day or urgent appointment]
Often, yes — but tell us when you call so we can set aside enough time rather than fitting you in one at a time. For larger parties, gap-year groups, work trips or Hajj and Umrah groups, our group and corporate page is the better starting point and group rates are available on request.
