Travel Clinic in Newhaven
Every travel vaccine your trip needs, in one appointment 26 minutes from Newhaven - most travellers seen the same week. No GP referral.
Every vaccine your Newhaven trip needs, sorted in one visit.
Newhaven travellers, whether flying or catching the Dieppe ferry, can book straight into Brighton Clinics: a private, same-week travel clinic at Coldean Pharmacy, 16 Beatty Avenue, Coldean, Brighton BN1 9ED, about 26 minutes up the Ouse valley and along the A27 past Lewes. No GP referral is needed first.
Newhaven's ferry link to Dieppe means some of our patients here are heading across the Channel by boat rather than by plane, alongside the same long-haul mix as neighbouring towns, and we keep the full range of travel vaccines in stock either way.
Book online or call 01273 605657, and your pre-travel risk assessment will be ready before you set off, whether you're driving or catching the train.
Is there a travel clinic near Newhaven?
Yes. Brighton Clinics runs a same-week travel clinic at Coldean Pharmacy, 16 Beatty Avenue, Coldean, Brighton BN1 9ED, about 10 miles from Newhaven, a 26-minute drive up the Ouse valley and along the A27 past Lewes. There is no GP referral, no long wait, and free patient parking on arrival. Book online at cal.com or call 01273 605657.
Newhaven sits at the mouth of the River Ouse and is best known as a working port, with DFDS running daily ferry sailings across the Channel to Dieppe, alongside Newhaven Fort, the Palmerston-era defensive fort above the harbour that is now a museum. The town of around 12,850 people has a working-age majority but also a meaningful retired population, and its port and industrial base give it a different economic profile to the more tourist-facing towns nearby.
Newhaven Town and Newhaven Harbour stations sit on the branch line through Lewes to Brighton, so rail is a genuine option alongside driving.
This guide to private travel vaccinations is written and clinically reviewed by the pharmacist team at Brighton Clinics, led by Superintendent Pharmacist and independent prescriber Brijesh Thaker (GPhC 2079034) with independent prescriber Ahsan Khair (GPhC 2232869), following NaTHNaC TravelHealthPro guidance, NHS Fit for Travel advice and the UK Health Security Agency Green Book. Brighton Clinics is a GPhC-registered pharmacy, number 9010023.
Which travel vaccines do Newhaven travellers need most?
By air or by ferry, five destinations make up most of what Newhaven travellers ask us about, each with different vaccine needs:
- Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia) - Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia typically call for Hepatitis A and Typhoid, with Hepatitis B, Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis considered for longer or rural trips. Dengue is endemic locally, so bite avoidance matters as much as the jabs.
- India, Pakistan & Sri Lanka - Hepatitis A and Typhoid are standard, often alongside Hepatitis B, Rabies and a Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio booster, with Japanese Encephalitis added for rural monsoon stays.
- East & West Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria) - Entry to many of these countries depends on a valid Yellow Fever ICVP certificate, which we combine with Hepatitis A, Typhoid, a Tetanus booster and malaria tablets, essential rather than optional, particularly relevant if your ferry crossing is the first leg of a longer overland trip.
- South & Central America - Hepatitis A and Typhoid are the starting point, Yellow Fever applies to parts of the Amazon basin, and Rabies is worth considering for remote travel.
- Saudi Arabia (Hajj / Umrah) - A Meningitis ACWY certificate is mandatory for the visa, and we usually recommend Hepatitis A, Typhoid and seasonal flu alongside it.
Who do we see travelling from Newhaven?
Newhaven's ferry link gives it a travel pattern the rest of our catchment does not really share: regular short cross-Channel hops to France, day trips and onward European road trips booked around the DFDS timetable rather than a flight. Alongside that we see the same long-haul mix as neighbouring towns, family visits across South Asia and Africa, and Yellow Fever risk for travellers using the ferry as the first leg of a longer journey overland through Europe. Port and marine industry workers make up a noticeable share of our Newhaven patients, so we are used to fitting appointments around shift patterns rather than a standard working week.
Yellow Fever vaccine and certificate for Newhaven travellers
Whichever way you're leaving, by air or via the Dieppe ferry, this can be done at Brighton Clinics (Coldean Pharmacy) without being sent elsewhere, since registered Yellow Fever centre status is ours already. Risk assessment, the on-site vaccine and the official ICVP certificate, the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, are issued in that same appointment. Parts of sub-Saharan Africa and South America require it at the border, checked again on occasion for an overland leg through Europe afterwards. Call 01273 605657 or book online for a Yellow Fever appointment.
Hajj and Umrah vaccines for Newhaven pilgrims
A current Meningitis ACWY certificate is non-negotiable for a Saudi visa, required of every pilgrim aged 1 and above and valid for a maximum of 5 years from the date it's given, issued at least 10 days ahead of arrival. We cover the Menveo vaccine and that certificate in one visit, and usually add Hepatitis A, Typhoid and seasonal flu, reflecting the crowded conditions and shared food and water that come with Hajj and Umrah.
NHS or private, travel vaccine costs for Newhaven patients
A defined set of travel vaccines is free through the NHS at GP surgeries for qualifying destinations: the combined Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio booster, Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Cholera and MMR. Rabies, Hepatitis B for tourism, Japanese Encephalitis and Meningitis ACWY for tourism including Hajj sit outside that scheme and stay private across the whole country, whether you're flying out or catching the ferry. If time is on your side, check with your GP about the funded jabs first; if it isn't, or you need an appointment quickly, same-week slots with us are standard.

Common questions from Newhaven travellers.
Yes, whether you're flying out or catching the ferry. Brighton Clinics (Coldean Pharmacy) is about 10 miles from Newhaven, a 26-minute drive via the A26 and A27 past Lewes, offering private same-week appointments with no GP referral. Newhaven residents are usually seen within days of getting in touch.
Cal.com works for a quick online booking, or call 01273 605657, useful if your ferry or flight times are still being finalised. We need your destination, dates and trip length, then a short health form goes out before you arrive.
Cost tracks the vaccines and doses needed for your route, whether you're flying or starting from the ferry terminal, so a single figure wouldn't be accurate. Our booking page carries current prices, or call 01273 605657 for an estimate based on your plans.
4 to 6 weeks before you travel is the window we'd recommend, especially where Rabies or Japanese Encephalitis are needed since both take more than one dose. If you are booked on the Dieppe ferry rather than flying, Yellow Fever and malaria risk still depend on where you go afterwards, so tell us your full route when you book.
That's determined by your destination, trip length, activities, age and medical history, whether you're flying or starting by ferry, rather than a generic package. Recommendations follow current NaTHNaC guidance, worked out for your itinerary during the consultation.
Yes. Whichever leg of your trip it applies to, our independent-prescriber pharmacists assess malaria risk from destination, region and how long you're away, and can supply antimalarials such as Malarone where clinically appropriate, plus bite avoidance advice.
Yes, whether you're flying or starting on the Dieppe ferry. Our registered Yellow Fever centre status covers the risk assessment, on-site vaccine and official ICVP certificate in one Newhaven appointment, no referral elsewhere needed. It's required for entry to parts of sub-Saharan Africa and South America, and can be checked again further into an overland route.
No, and that applies whichever leg of your trip needs sorting first, flight or ferry. Book online or call 01273 605657 directly; private clinics take self-referrals, so there's no GP letter to chase up beforehand.
Yes, we're GPhC-registered as premises number 9010023, which anyone can verify on their public register. Superintendent Pharmacist and independent prescriber responsibilities sit with Brijesh Thaker (GPhC 2079034), alongside independent prescriber Ahsan Khair (GPhC 2232869).
Yes, whichever way the family's travelling, by air or ferry. Licensing for most travel vaccines starts at age 1, with some available younger still, and we build one schedule that gets a Newhaven family through in a single Coldean visit.
Usually, yes, and often at shorter notice than flight-based bookings tend to need. Newhaven is around 25 minutes up the Ouse valley, and because ferry and cross-Channel plans frequently firm up late, we keep same-week appointments available for exactly that.
Southeast Asia, Thailand included, typically needs Hepatitis A and Typhoid as a baseline, with Hepatitis B, Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis considered for longer or rural trips. India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka follow a comparable pattern, often with a Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio booster. Sub-Saharan Africa frequently requires Yellow Fever at entry, alongside Hepatitis A, Typhoid and malaria tablets, worth flagging if the ferry is only the first leg of your journey. Your precise list depends on the itinerary.
A Meningitis ACWY certificate is the mandatory item for your Saudi visa, valid for up to 5 years once given. We handle the Menveo vaccine and that certificate in one visit, and usually recommend Hepatitis A, Typhoid and seasonal flu alongside it, given the food, water and crowd exposure that Hajj and Umrah involve.
Opening hours are 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 1pm on Saturday, closed Sunday. Whether your travel plans run by ferry or flight, travel consultations can be booked throughout those hours, call 01273 605657 or book online to check same-day availability.
