Peacehaven is a young town by Sussex standards, laid out from 1916 on the clifftops east of Brighton and originally called New Anzac-on-Sea before being renamed the following year. Its most famous landmark is the Greenwich Meridian marker on the seafront, since the Prime Meridian crosses the coast here, and the town has grown to around 15,700 people, mostly in owner-occupied family homes along the grid of roads running back from the cliff edge.
There is no railway station in Peacehaven, so almost everyone drives or takes the bus along the A259, including to us.
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 Peacehaven travellers need most?
Peacehaven's travellers gravitate towards a handful of regions above all others, each needing a different vaccine combination:
- Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia) - Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia usually need Hepatitis A and Typhoid, with Hepatitis B, Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis added for longer or rural routes. Dengue is endemic, so bite avoidance is worth building into your plans.
- India, Pakistan & Sri Lanka - The pattern is similar here, Hepatitis A and Typhoid as standard, often with Hepatitis B, Rabies and a Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio booster, plus Japanese Encephalitis for rural monsoon stays.
- East & West Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria) - Many of these countries will not let you in without a valid Yellow Fever ICVP certificate, so that sits alongside Hepatitis A, Typhoid, a Tetanus booster and malaria tablets, which are essential.
- South & Central America - Hepatitis A and Typhoid cover the basics, Yellow Fever is relevant for parts of the Amazon basin, and Rabies is worth a conversation if you're heading somewhere remote.
- Saudi Arabia (Hajj / Umrah) - A Meningitis ACWY certificate is mandatory for the visa, and Hepatitis A, Typhoid and seasonal flu are usually recommended on top.
Who do we see travelling from Peacehaven?
Peacehaven was built for people who wanted an affordable home by the sea, and that founding character still shows: a strong owner-occupier, family and retiree base rather than the transient student population of central Brighton. We see steady demand for family summer holidays, retirement travel including cruises and long winter stays abroad, and visits to relatives overseas planned well in advance. With the town's own shops limited to the essentials, Peacehaven residents are used to travelling into Brighton or Newhaven for anything specialist, and a same-week travel clinic fits that existing pattern.
Yellow Fever vaccine and certificate for Peacehaven travellers
It might sound like something only a specialist centre could offer, but with no travel clinic of its own, Peacehaven doesn't need one: Brighton Clinics (Coldean Pharmacy) already holds registered Yellow Fever centre status, so the risk check, the jab itself and the official ICVP certificate, the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, are wrapped into one appointment rather than split across referrals. Several countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South America require it at entry, and it may be asked for again further into your trip. Call 01273 605657 or book online to get yours arranged.
What Peacehaven pilgrims need for Hajj or Umrah
Pilgrims of any age from 1 upwards need a valid Meningitis ACWY certificate to satisfy the Saudi visa requirement, given at least 10 days before you arrive and renewed every 5 years at most. We handle the Menveo vaccine and the certificate together in one appointment, and we typically recommend Hepatitis A, Typhoid and seasonal flu on top, given the amount of shared food, water and crowd contact involved.
NHS or private, travel vaccine costs for Peacehaven patients
Some travel vaccines are free of charge on the NHS at GP surgeries, but that depends on your destination meeting the criteria: the combined Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio booster, Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Cholera and MMR. Everything else is private nationwide regardless of where you go for it, including Rabies, Hepatitis B for tourism, Japanese Encephalitis and Meningitis ACWY for tourism including Hajj. Ask your GP surgery about the free options first if you have the time; if you don't, or a booking needs to happen fast, we vaccinate the same week as a matter of course.

Common questions from Peacehaven travellers.
There's no clinic within Peacehaven itself, but Brighton Clinics (Coldean Pharmacy) is only about 8 miles away, a 22-minute drive via Rottingdean, Woodingdean and the A27. It's a private, same-week service, no GP referral required, and Peacehaven residents are typically seen within days.
Book through cal.com if you'd rather do it yourself, or call 01273 605657 and we'll take the details over the phone. Tell us your destination, travel dates and trip length, and a brief health form follows ahead of your visit.
The vaccines and dose schedule your trip calls for set the cost, which is why we can't quote one number for everybody. Check our booking page for up-to-date prices, or call 01273 605657 and we'll talk through what a Peacehaven traveller's trip is likely to cost.
The usual guidance is 4 to 6 weeks ahead of travel, allowing time for multi-dose vaccines such as Rabies or Japanese Encephalitis to be completed. Peacehaven has no travel clinic of its own, so booking as soon as you have travel dates gives the widest choice of slots.
It depends on your destination, trip length, activities, age and medical history, not a fixed package we sell to everyone. Every recommendation is based on current NaTHNaC guidance and worked out for your specific itinerary in the consultation.
Yes, and it's assessed properly rather than guessed at: destination, region and trip length all factor in, and our independent-prescriber pharmacists can then supply antimalarials such as Malarone where clinically appropriate, alongside bite avoidance advice.
Yes, and Peacehaven travellers don't need a referral anywhere else for it. As a registered Yellow Fever centre, the risk assessment, on-site vaccination and official ICVP certificate are all covered in one appointment. Parts of sub-Saharan Africa and South America require it for entry, sometimes asked for again on a later leg.
No GP involvement needed beforehand. Self-referral is standard practice at private clinics, so Peacehaven patients just call 01273 605657 or use the online booking directly.
Yes. Premises number 9010023 is how we're registered with the GPhC, listed on their public register for verification. Brijesh Thaker serves as Superintendent Pharmacist and independent prescriber (GPhC 2079034), and Ahsan Khair is independent prescriber (GPhC 2232869).
Yes. Most travel vaccines can be given from age 1, a few even earlier, and for Peacehaven families travelling as a group we plan a single schedule so one Coldean visit covers everyone instead of coming back and forth.
Usually, yes. There is no railway station in Peacehaven, so most patients drive in along the coast road and the A27, and we run a tight 20 to 30 minute appointment so it is easy to fit around the rest of your day.
Hepatitis A and Typhoid cover most Thailand and Southeast Asia trips, with Hepatitis B, Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis added for longer or rural routes. India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka run a similar pattern, generally with a Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio booster included. Yellow Fever is often required for entry across sub-Saharan Africa, alongside Hepatitis A, Typhoid and malaria tablets. Your exact needs still depend on the itinerary.
First and foremost, a Meningitis ACWY certificate, mandatory for the Saudi visa and valid for 5 years from issue. We give Menveo and provide that certificate in the same appointment, and generally suggest Hepatitis A, Typhoid and seasonal flu on top, given the crowds and shared food and water involved in the pilgrimage.
We open 9am to 5.30pm on weekdays and 9am to 1pm on Saturday, with Sundays closed. Travel consultations can be booked at any point across those hours, call 01273 605657 or book online to check today's slots.
