Worthing's own residents travel to Brighton Clinics for their pre-travel jabs: a private, same-week clinic at Coldean Pharmacy, 16 Beatty Avenue, Coldean, Brighton BN1 9ED, about 28 minutes east along the A27 past Lancing and Shoreham. No GP referral is required, whether you are booking for one or the whole household.
Worthing is West Sussex's largest coastal town, with a broad mix of retirees, new families and established communities all travelling abroad for different reasons. We keep the full range of vaccines in stock and can plan one schedule for everyone travelling together.
Whether you book online or ring 01273 605657, your pre-travel risk assessment will be ready and waiting before you set off for Coldean.
Is there a travel clinic for Worthing?
Yes. Brighton Clinics runs a same-week travel clinic at Coldean Pharmacy, 16 Beatty Avenue, Coldean, Brighton BN1 9ED, about 12 miles from Worthing, a 28-minute drive east along the A27 past Lancing and Shoreham. There is no GP referral, no long wait, and free patient parking on arrival. Book online at cal.com or call 01273 605657.
Worthing is the largest town on this stretch of coast, a separate West Sussex borough of around 113,000 people with its own Art Deco pier, seafront and a wave of regeneration around Teville Gate and the Splash Point leisure centre. The town has drawn steady in-migration from Brighton and London over the last two decades, families and professionals priced out of the city but still wanting the coast, which means a broader age spread than its reputation as a retirement town suggests.
Because Worthing is that bit further from Coldean, we recommend booking a little earlier where possible, though same-week appointments are still the norm.
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 Worthing travellers need most?
Across the destinations Worthing travellers head to most often, the vaccine advice breaks down like this:
- Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia) - Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia generally call for Hepatitis A and Typhoid, with Hepatitis B, Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis considered for longer or rural trips. Dengue is present, so bite avoidance is part of the picture.
- India, Pakistan & Sri Lanka - Hepatitis A and Typhoid remain the standard, often joined by Hepatitis B, Rabies and a Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio booster, plus Japanese Encephalitis for rural monsoon stays.
- East & West Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria) - Entry to Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana and Nigeria frequently depends on a valid Yellow Fever ICVP certificate, which we pair with Hepatitis A, Typhoid, a Tetanus booster and malaria tablets, essential rather than optional.
- South & Central America - Hepatitis A and Typhoid are the baseline, Yellow Fever is relevant for parts of the Amazon basin, and Rabies is worth adding for remote travel.
- Saudi Arabia (Hajj / Umrah) - Meningitis ACWY is a mandatory visa requirement, alongside our usual recommendation of Hepatitis A, Typhoid and seasonal flu.
Who do we see travelling from Worthing?
Worthing's population has grown through decades of in-migration, retirees drawn by the seafront and mild climate, younger families arriving for value and space, and a settled community with strong ties overseas. That produces a wide travel spread: long-haul winter escapes and cruise stopovers for older residents, half-term family trips for the new arrivals, and visits to relatives across South Asia and Africa for established local communities. With Cissbury Ring and the South Downs behind the town and no major hospital travel clinic on the doorstep, Worthing residents often ask us to plan vaccines for the whole household in one visit rather than juggling several appointments.
Yellow Fever vaccine and certificate for Worthing travellers
Yes, and nothing here needs a referral elsewhere. As a registered Yellow Fever centre, we risk-assess your itinerary, give the vaccine on-site and issue the official ICVP certificate, the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, before you leave, all in the one visit. Some countries across sub-Saharan Africa and South America require it to let you across their border, and it can be asked for again later in a trip. Call 01273 605657 or book online to arrange your Yellow Fever appointment.
Vaccines Worthing pilgrims need for Hajj or Umrah
The Saudi visa process hinges on a valid Meningitis ACWY certificate for every pilgrim from age 1 up, issued no earlier than 5 years ago and no later than 10 days before you land. Menveo and that certificate both happen in a single appointment with us, and we typically also suggest Hepatitis A, Typhoid and a seasonal flu vaccine, given how much food, water and crowd contact Hajj and Umrah bring.
NHS or private, what Worthing patients pay for travel vaccines
Provided your destination qualifies, a set number of travel vaccines are available free through NHS GP surgeries: the combined Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio booster, Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Cholera and MMR. Anything falling outside that list, Rabies, Hepatitis B for tourism, Japanese Encephalitis and Meningitis ACWY for tourism including Hajj, is private the length of the country, a rule that applies everywhere, not just with us. If your timeline allows, ask your GP about the free jabs first; if it doesn't, or a surgery slot isn't available in time, we routinely vaccinate the same week.

Common questions from Worthing travellers.
Not in Worthing itself, but not far either. Brighton Clinics (Coldean Pharmacy) is around 12 miles east, a 28-minute drive along the A27, running as a private, same-week clinic that skips the GP referral altogether. Worthing residents are usually booked in within days rather than weeks.
Appointments go through cal.com, or over the phone on 01273 605657 if that's easier. We ask for your destination, dates and trip length up front, then send a short pre-visit health form for you to return before you come in.
There's no standard charge, the vaccines and number of doses your trip needs set the final cost. Prices are kept current on our booking page, or ring 01273 605657 and we'll estimate the total for a typical Worthing traveller's itinerary.
Booking 4 to 6 weeks out is the general rule, more so if your itinerary calls for multi-dose vaccines such as Rabies or Japanese Encephalitis. Worthing is under 30 minutes away, so even a booking made just a few days out usually still lands in time for your flight.
It varies by destination, how long you're travelling, what you'll be doing, your age and your medical history, there's no standard package on offer. Every recommendation follows current NaTHNaC guidance and is worked out for your itinerary specifically, during the consultation.
Yes, this is something our independent prescribers handle directly. They assess risk using your destination, the specific region and trip length, then supply antimalarials such as Malarone when appropriate, plus guidance on avoiding bites.
Yes, entirely in-house. Worthing travellers get the risk assessment, the vaccine and the official ICVP certificate in one visit because we hold registered Yellow Fever centre status ourselves. Certain countries across sub-Saharan Africa and South America won't let you in without it, and it may be checked again further into the journey.
No. There's no letter to obtain from your GP first, private clinics run on self-referral, so it's simply a case of calling 01273 605657 or booking online whenever you're ready.
Yes. GPhC premises number 9010023 belongs to us, verifiable any time on their public register, and the team is led by Superintendent Pharmacist and independent prescriber Brijesh Thaker (GPhC 2079034), together with independent prescriber Ahsan Khair (GPhC 2232869).
Yes. A single schedule is how we handle Worthing households travelling as a group, since most travel vaccines can be given from age 1 onwards and a few even younger, meaning everyone is covered in one Coldean visit rather than separate bookings.
Usually, yes. Worthing is under half an hour up the A27, and we keep late-afternoon appointments open specifically so a Worthing traveller can fit the round trip around work rather than needing the whole day off.
Hepatitis A and Typhoid are the standard pairing for Thailand and Southeast Asia generally, with Hepatitis B, Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis added where the trip runs longer or more rural. India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka need much the same, usually with a Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio booster. Sub-Saharan Africa often requires Yellow Fever for entry, alongside Hepatitis A, Typhoid and malaria tablets. The exact list always traces back to your itinerary.
The mandatory requirement is a Meningitis ACWY certificate for the Saudi visa, valid for 5 years after it's given. We combine the Menveo vaccine and that certificate into one appointment, and typically suggest Hepatitis A, Typhoid and seasonal flu too, given the food, water and crowd exposure Hajj and Umrah bring.
We're open 9am to 5.30pm Monday through Friday and 9am to 1pm on Saturdays, closed Sundays. Any point in those hours works for a travel consultation, book online or call 01273 605657 to check what's free same-day.
