Popular Travel Vaccines
Yellow Fever Vaccine
One of the most well-known travel vaccines, the Yellow Fever vaccine is essential for travellers heading to regions where the disease is prevalent. This includes parts of Africa and South America. Murrays Pharmacy administers this vaccine, ensuring that your adventure is not marred by the threat of this potentially severe viral illness.
Typhoid Vaccine
Typhoid is a bacterial infection that can be contracted through contaminated food and water. The Typhoid vaccine is recommended for travellers heading to areas with poor sanitation and hygiene standards. Murrays Pharmacy provides this vaccine to offer protection against typhoid bacteria, ensuring a worry-free journey.
Hepatitis A and B Vaccines
Hepatitis A and B are viral infections that affect the liver. Both can be contracted through contaminated food, water, or contact with infected bodily fluids. Murrays Pharmacy offers vaccines for both Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B, catering to the diverse needs of travellers exploring regions with varying risk levels for these infections.
Malaria Prophylaxis
While not a vaccine, malaria prophylaxis is a crucial aspect of travel health, especially for those heading to malaria-endemic areas. Murrays Pharmacy provides a range of antimalarial medications, offering personalised advice based on the specific region you plan to visit. This ensures that you are adequately protected against this mosquito-borne illness.
Meningitis Vaccine
Meningitis is an infectious disease that can be particularly prevalent in crowded or communal living situations. The meningitis vaccine is recommended for travellers attending large gatherings, such as festivals or pilgrimages. Murrays Pharmacy administers this vaccine to help mitigate the risk of this potentially severe illness.
