Every travel vaccine your trip needs, in one appointment 20 minutes from Shoreham-by-Sea - most travellers seen the same week. No GP referral.
Every vaccine your Shoreham trip needs, sorted in one visit.
Yes, and it is a same-week appointment rather than a wait: Brighton Clinics operates a private travel clinic at Coldean Pharmacy, 16 Beatty Avenue, Coldean, Brighton BN1 9ED, roughly 20 minutes from Shoreham-by-Sea over the Adur flyover on the A27. Nobody needs a GP referral to book, wherever in the world you are heading.
Shoreham's river, harbour and airport community sends everyone from sailors and pilots to families and retirees abroad, and we keep the full range of vaccines in stock for whoever is travelling.
Booking is online or by calling 01273 605657, either way we'll have your pre-travel risk assessment drawn up ahead of your visit.

Yes. Brighton Clinics runs a same-week travel clinic at Coldean Pharmacy, 16 Beatty Avenue, Coldean, Brighton BN1 9ED, about 8 miles from Shoreham-by-Sea, a 20-minute drive east along the A27 over the Adur flyover. There is no GP referral, no long wait, and free patient parking on arrival. Book online at cal.com or call 01273 605657.
Shoreham sits where the River Adur meets the sea, a town of houseboats, a historic tollbridge and Shoreham Airport, the UK's oldest licensed airfield still in operation, its 1936 Art Deco terminal a regular film set. That mix of river, harbour and airport history draws a creative, slightly bohemian community alongside families and retirees who have moved down the coast from Brighton and Hove for more space and lower prices.
Shoreham-by-Sea station sits on the West Coastway Line, so plenty of our Shoreham patients travel in for their appointment on the same trip as a shopping run into Brighton.
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 Shoreham travellers need most?
Five destinations cover the bulk of what Shoreham-by-Sea travellers come in asking about, and each carries its own vaccine advice:
- Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia) - For Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia, Hepatitis A and Typhoid cover most trips; longer or rural itineraries often add Hepatitis B, Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis. Dengue circulates locally, so bite avoidance is worth discussing too.
- India, Pakistan & Sri Lanka - Hepatitis A and Typhoid are standard, with Hepatitis B, Rabies and a Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio booster frequently added, and Japanese Encephalitis if you'll be rural during the monsoon.
- East & West Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria) - Many of these destinations require a valid Yellow Fever ICVP certificate at the border, alongside Hepatitis A, Typhoid, a Tetanus booster and malaria tablets, the last of which is essential.
- South & Central America - Hepatitis A and Typhoid are the starting point, with Yellow Fever needed for parts of the Amazon basin and Rabies worth considering for remote areas.
- Saudi Arabia (Hajj / Umrah) - A Meningitis ACWY certificate is mandatory for your visa, and Hepatitis A, Typhoid and seasonal flu are commonly recommended too.
Who do we see travelling from Shoreham-by-Sea?
Shoreham's houseboat and riverside community includes a fair number of sailors, pilots and light-aircraft enthusiasts connected to the airport, several of whom travel for work as much as leisure. Alongside them are the families who moved from Brighton and Hove for the space and the beach, now booking half-term holidays and visits to grandparents overseas, and a growing retiree population planning longer winter breaks. Because the town has no hospital or large GP travel service of its own, a same-week appointment a short hop up the A27 fills a genuine gap for last-minute bookings.
Yellow Fever vaccine and certificate in Shoreham-by-Sea
Yes. As a fully registered Yellow Fever centre, Brighton Clinics (Coldean Pharmacy) handles the whole process for Shoreham-by-Sea travellers without an onward referral, your route assessed for risk, the jab given there and then, and the official ICVP certificate, the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, handed over before the appointment ends. This is checked at the border for entry to parts of sub-Saharan Africa and South America, and occasionally asked for again later in a trip. Book online or call 01273 605657 for a Yellow Fever slot.
Hajj and Umrah vaccines for Shoreham-by-Sea travellers
Every pilgrim aged 1 or above needs a current Meningitis ACWY certificate before the Saudi authorities will issue a visa, timed at least 10 days before you arrive and within a 5-year validity window. We administer Menveo and print the certificate in one sitting, and we routinely recommend Hepatitis A, Typhoid and seasonal flu alongside it, given the food, water and crowd exposure that comes with Hajj and Umrah.
Which travel vaccines are NHS-funded for Shoreham-by-Sea patients?
The NHS will cover a limited set of travel vaccines at no cost via GP surgeries, so long as your destination meets the criteria: the combined Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio booster, Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Cholera and MMR. Beyond that list, Rabies, Hepatitis B for tourism, Japanese Encephalitis and Meningitis ACWY for tourism including Hajj, private provision is standard nationwide, not something unique to us. Check with your GP first if your schedule stretches to it; if it doesn't, or your surgery has nothing outside normal hours, same-week vaccination with us is routine, often at short notice.

Common questions from Shoreham travellers.
Yes, a short drive along the coast road. Brighton Clinics (Coldean Pharmacy) is roughly 8 miles from Shoreham-by-Sea, about 20 minutes via the A27 over the Adur flyover, and takes private bookings with no GP referral and no drawn-out waiting list. Shoreham residents are normally seen within days.
Head to cal.com to pick a slot yourself, or call 01273 605657 and we'll book it with you. Let us know your destination, dates and trip length, and expect a brief health questionnaire beforehand to complete at your convenience.
Rather than a flat fee, what you pay is built from the vaccines and doses your trip requires. Our booking page lists up-to-date prices, and calling 01273 605657 gets you a steer on the likely cost for a Shoreham-by-Sea itinerary.
A lead time of 4 to 6 weeks works best, especially where multi-dose vaccines like Rabies or Japanese Encephalitis are needed. From Shoreham the A27 run takes 20 minutes, so booking closer to the day will still often work out in time.
That depends on your destination, trip length, planned activities, age and medical history rather than a fixed list, we don't push a generic package. Recommendations follow current NaTHNaC guidance for your specific itinerary, decided during your consultation.
Yes. Our pharmacists, who are independent prescribers, look at your destination, the region and trip duration to assess malaria risk, then supply antimalarials like Malarone where it's clinically appropriate and talk through bite avoidance too.
Yes, no need to go anywhere else for it either. Because we're a registered Yellow Fever centre, Shoreham-by-Sea travellers get the risk assessment, the jab and the official ICVP certificate handled in the same appointment. Parts of sub-Saharan Africa and South America check for it at the border, and it can come up again later in a trip.
No. As with most private clinics, self-referral is how this works, so Shoreham-by-Sea patients can book directly, whether that's online or by calling 01273 605657, no GP appointment required beforehand.
Yes, registered under GPhC premises number 9010023, which is on their public register for anyone to verify. Brijesh Thaker is Superintendent Pharmacist and independent prescriber here (GPhC 2079034), and Ahsan Khair (GPhC 2232869) is our other independent prescriber.
Yes, families travelling from Shoreham-by-Sea together are common here. Most travel vaccines are licensed from 1 year of age, some earlier, and we plan one schedule covering everyone so a single Coldean visit does the job instead of repeat appointments.
Usually, yes. It is a straightforward 20-minute drive along the A27 from Shoreham, and we set aside late-afternoon slots so the appointment can slot in either side of a normal working day.
Thailand and the wider Southeast Asia region usually call for Hepatitis A and Typhoid at minimum, with Hepatitis B, Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis added for longer or rural itineraries. India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka follow a similar pattern, often alongside a Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio booster. Yellow Fever is frequently required for entry across sub-Saharan Africa, together with Hepatitis A, Typhoid and malaria tablets. Your own requirements depend on the specific itinerary.
A valid Meningitis ACWY certificate is the mandatory piece for the Saudi visa, good for 5 years once issued. We give Menveo and hand over that certificate in a single visit, and usually recommend Hepatitis A, Typhoid and seasonal flu as well, given the amount of shared food, water and crowds during the pilgrimage.
Our hours are 9am to 5.30pm on weekdays and 9am to 1pm on Saturday, with no Sunday opening. Travel consultations run across all of that, so call 01273 605657 or book online for same-day slots.
