Travel Vaccinations in Horbury

Flying within weeks and your GP's travel clinic has a three-month wait? Kingfisher Pharmacy in Wakefield centre offers travel vaccinations for Horbury residents — and we're usually available within days, not months. We keep stock of the main vaccines, so you focus on packing, not chasing appointments.

Why Travel Vaccinations in Horbury Matters

Horbury sits in the WF4 postcode — a short drive or local bus ride from Wakefield city centre. Wakefield's GP travel clinics often book weeks ahead, leaving residents like you waiting, sometimes with flights already booked. Kingfisher Pharmacy keeps travel vaccines in stock year-round — Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, Yellow Fever, Rabies, Japanese Encephalitis, and Meningitis ACWY. We're independent, so we're not reliant on NHS clinic schedules. We also offer consultation — we'll review your itinerary and tell you honestly which vaccines you actually need.

What's Included

• Yellow Fever vaccine — stocked for destinations that require it on entry.
• Hepatitis A and B — offered as single combination or separate doses depending on your timeline.
• Typhoid vaccination — oral capsules or injectable, depending on how soon you're leaving.
• Japanese Encephalitis, Rabies, and Meningitis ACWY — for longer trips or higher-risk regions in Africa and Asia.
• Consultation included — we review your itinerary and advise which vaccines you actually need.

Pricing & Process

Call us on 01924 291898 or visit 192 Kirkgate to book. Tell us where you're going and when you're leaving. We'll confirm availability, quote the vaccines you need, and fit you in — usually within days. Travel vaccine costs vary by destination and what you've had before. Single vaccines range from £35 (Typhoid) to £85 (Japanese Encephalitis). Hepatitis B is £45 per dose and needs two doses at least 4 weeks apart for full protection. At your appointment (15–20 minutes), we'll review your itinerary, check your vaccination record, and give the injections. Some vaccines need follow-up doses a few weeks later — we'll advise which and when.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to book with my GP first?

A: No. Call us directly on 01924 291898 and tell us where you're going. We'll advise which vaccines you need and fit you in. Most Horbury residents can come the same week. If your GP's travel clinic is overbooked, we're often faster.

Q: How long does a travel vaccine appointment take?

A: Usually 15–20 minutes for the appointment itself. We'll review your travel itinerary, check any previous vaccinations you've had, answer your questions, and give the injection or injections. If you need multiple vaccines on the same day, allow a bit longer. Some vaccines require follow-up doses a few weeks later — we'll give you a schedule.

Q: What if I'm leaving in two weeks and need multiple vaccines?

A: It depends which vaccines and when you last had them. Yellow Fever and Typhoid are often ready same week. Hepatitis B requires two doses at least 4 weeks apart, so you'd complete the second after you're home or at a clinic at your destination. Book now and we'll map it out.

Q: Can I get vaccines if I've had them before?

A: Yes, and sometimes a booster is all you need — it depends on which vaccine and when you had it. Bring your vaccination records (yellow booklet, old appointment letters, or a list) and we'll check.

Q: Do you stock rabies and Japanese Encephalitis?

A: Yes, both in stock most of the time. Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis take longer to arrange than, say, Typhoid or Hepatitis A, so if you need them, call us now to confirm availability and book your slot.
