Travel Vaccination Service

Thank you for choosing Hickey’s Pharmacy for your travel vaccines. You have requested a call back to arrange an appointment at STORE NAME, ADDRESS.

When making the appointment the Pharmacist will allow at least three working days from your doctor’s consultation so that the prescription will have arrived in time.

Doctors Appointment

If you have not already had your GP consultation here are some tips to help.

Write down your travel dates and destinations.
If you can recall or have any records or previous travel vaccinations make a note of these.
Look up your destinations in advance on a reputable site e.g. https://www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/destinations. This will allow you to make a more informed decision about the vaccines you want to get. Our website will show you the prices of these vaccines: https://www.hickeyspharmacies.ie/services/travel-vaccination.
Don’t forget to arrange for the prescription to be sent to your chosen Hickey’s Pharmacy.
Links to online Doctors who we know provide a travel consultation service.
- ie: The primacy consultation is via an online form. The form will then be reviewed by an Irish registered doctor and you will receive a follow up call from a Doctor. Link to “Start Consultation” https://www.myclinic.ie/travel-health

Your Pharmacy Appointment

Because we will have received your prescription in advance the vaccinating pharmacist will have everything ordered in and ready for your appointment.
You will need to stay in the pharmacy for 15 minutes after your vaccinations, just in case you have any immediate side effects.
If you need to change your appointment please let us know as soon as possible.
Travel vaccines are given into your upper arm so it’s better to wear a t-shirt or other loose clothing.
If the doctor posted the prescription to you, you will need to bring the paper copy with you to the appointment.
