Travel Clinic in Stoneygate
Yellow Fever, Hep A, Typhoid, malaria tablets — every vaccine your trip needs, in one same-day appointment in Stoneygate itself.
Get every vaccine your trip needs — without the GP-waiting-list dance.
Stoneygate residents have a travel clinic on their doorstep — Clarendon Pharmacy sits on Welford Road in Stoneygate itself. Walk or short drive — most addresses are five minutes away. Same-day appointments, no GP referral, free patient parking.
The clinic is led by Mohammed Kolia (MPharm, IP), a GPhC-registered Independent Prescriber with travel-medicine training, supported by a team trained in destination risk assessment. Clarendon is a NaTHNaC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre (GPhC premises 1034171), so we can issue valid International Certificates of Vaccination (ICVP) on the day.
You'll leave with every vaccine you actually need for your destination — not a generic list — plus malaria tablets if your trip requires them, a written travel-health summary you can show at the airport or at work, and any certificates required for entry into countries like Saudi Arabia, Brazil or Ghana.
NHS travel vaccines (the ones the NHS funds free, like Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio and Hepatitis A for certain destinations) are still worth getting through your GP if you have time. For everything else — and for last-minute trips — we'll see you the same week, often the same day. No referral needed.
Travel clinics for Stoneygate residents
Stoneygate is one of Leicester's most established residential neighbourhoods, with a demographic that travels internationally more than the Leicester average — longer-haul holidays, multi-generational family trips, frequent business travel, and second-home travel to Europe. The proximity to Welford Road (1.5 mi, about seven minutes via London Road) makes a private travel clinic a natural stop for pre-trip jabs and prescriptions.
Clarendon Pharmacy is a NaTHNaC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre (GPhC premises 1034171), led by Mohammed Kolia (MPharm, IP), a GPhC-registered Independent Prescriber with travel-medicine training. Same-day appointments most days; free patient parking on-site.
Which travel vaccines do I need?
Recommendations follow guidance from NaTHNaC (TravelHealthPro) and Fit for Travel. We check both at every appointment.
The most commonly recommended travel vaccines
- Yellow Fever — Required for entry to many African and South American countries (Brazil, Ghana, Kenya, Bolivia, Peru). Single dose gives lifetime protection. Only NaTHNaC-designated centres can issue the ICVP.
- Hepatitis A — Recommended for most destinations in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Central and South America.
- Typhoid — For the Indian subcontinent, parts of Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
- Hepatitis B — For longer trips, healthcare workers, anyone likely to need medical/dental treatment abroad.
- Rabies — For trekkers, cyclists, animal workers, rural travel in India, China, Africa, parts of Asia.
- Japanese Encephalitis — For rural Asia during transmission season.
- Meningitis ACWY — Mandatory for Hajj and Umrah; recommended for African meningitis belt during dry season.
- Cholera — Oral vaccine. Mainly for aid workers and adventure travellers.
How early should I book?
Most travel medicine guidelines recommend booking 6–8 weeks before travel. Multi-dose vaccines (Rabies, Hepatitis B, Japanese Encephalitis) need time to complete. Single-dose vaccines reach peak immunity in about two weeks. For Stoneygate residents planning major trips well in advance, this is ideal. Same-day appointments available for last-minute trips too.
How much do travel vaccines cost?
Pricing varies by vaccine. Current rates are published on our travel clinic booking page — updated whenever supplier costs change. A pre-travel risk assessment is included — you only pay for the vaccines you actually need.
Travel vaccines for Hajj and Umrah
For Saudi Arabia for Hajj or Umrah, you need a valid Meningitis ACWY vaccination certificate, administered between 10 days and 5 years before arrival. We issue the certificate the same day. Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and seasonal flu are also typically recommended for Hajj travellers.
Can children get travel vaccines?
Yes — most from age 1 (some from 9 months for Yellow Fever, some from 2 years for Rabies). Family appointments are common. We can plan a schedule for everyone in the household in one block. Paediatric formulations of Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B are stocked as standard.
If you're pregnant
Live vaccines (Yellow Fever, MMR, Chickenpox) are generally avoided in pregnancy unless travel is unavoidable to a high-risk area. Inactivated vaccines (Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Hepatitis B, Tetanus, Rabies in some circumstances) are usually fine. We'll do a full risk-benefit assessment at consultation — sometimes the right answer is to delay the trip rather than the vaccine.
Getting to Welford Road from Stoneygate
The clinic is at 272 Welford Road, Leicester LE2 6BD. From Stoneygate, head south on London Road then west onto Welford Road. About 1.5 miles, seven minutes by car. Free patient parking on-site. For walkers, it's about 25–30 minutes via Knighton Park and Welford Road — doable if the weather's right. The 47, 84, 85 and 88 buses all run between Stoneygate and Welford Road.
Why choose a pharmacist-led travel clinic?
Pharmacist-led clinics typically cost less than GP-led equivalents while offering same-day appointments and a wider range of in-stock vaccines. As a GPhC-registered Independent Prescriber, Mohammed Kolia can also prescribe malaria tablets, jet-lag medication, period delay, and altitude-sickness prophylaxis in the same visit. Every vaccine is sourced through the regulated UK supply chain.
