At Vivo Pharmacy & Health Clinic, we understand that staying healthy while you travel is just as important as booking your flights and packing your bags. Whether you’re planning a short business trip or the adventure of a lifetime, our travel clinic in Bristol offers a wide range of services to help protect you from avoidable illnesses, so you can travel with confidence.
From essential travel vaccines to tailored advice based on your destination, our experienced team provides a comprehensive service designed around your journey and your health needs.
Why Visit a Travel Clinic Before You Go Abroad?
Travelling internationally (especially to parts of Asia, Africa, or South America) can expose you to diseases that are uncommon in the UK. Many of these illnesses are preventable through vaccinations or preventative medication. A consultation at our travel clinic ensures that you receive the right protection based on your itinerary, medical history, and risk level.
Some of the most common reasons to visit a travel clinic include:
-
Routine travel vaccinations (e.g. hepatitis A, typhoid, tetanus)
-
Protection against diseases like yellow fever or rabies
-
Antimalarial medication for high-risk regions
-
Preventative advice for food and water safety, mosquito avoidance, altitude sickness, and more
-
Supporting documentation for visas or entry requirements
Even if you’ve travelled abroad before, vaccine schedules may change, and immunity can wane over time. That’s why it’s important to consult with a trained professional ahead of every trip.

Popular Travel Vaccinations We Provide
While your vaccination needs will depend on your itinerary, some of the most commonly requested vaccinations at our clinic include:
Hepatitis A and B – Spread through contaminated food, water, or blood
Typhoid – Common in areas with poor sanitation
Tetanus, Diphtheria and Polio – A combined booster is often recommended
Rabies – For high-risk activities or destinations, especially remote travel
Yellow Fever – Required for entry to certain countries and for protection
Japanese Encephalitis – For long stays or rural travel in parts of Asia
Cholera – Occasionally recommended for aid workers or travellers to outbreak regions
MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) – Often needed for those without full childhood immunisations
We’ll guide you through what’s necessary and what’s optional, based on official guidance and your personal circumstances.
How Early Should You Book an Appointment?
We recommend booking your travel consultation at least 6 to 8 weeks before departure, especially if multiple vaccinations are needed over a schedule of doses. Some vaccines require more than one dose, and full protection may take a few weeks to develop.
However, if you’re travelling at short notice, don’t worry—we can still help. Many vaccines offer partial or full protection quickly, and our experienced team will do everything possible to provide the right care, even at short notice.
Travel Health Advice You Can Trust
Vaccinations are only one part of travel health. At Vivo, we also provide clear, personalised advice to help you stay well while away.
This includes:
-
How to avoid mosquito bites in malaria and dengue-prone areas
-
What to eat and drink (and what to avoid) to prevent foodborne illness
-
Advice for travelling with diabetes, asthma, or other chronic conditions
-
Tips for staying hydrated and safe in hot climates
-
Guidance on travel insurance and how to access healthcare abroad
We’re also happy to help with health-related travel documents and vaccine certificates where required.
