Travel vaccination and health clinic in Blackburn

Blackburn Travel Clinic is a health centre specialising in travel vaccinations and advice, with two locations in Blackburn (United Kingdom). It serves individual travellers, families and businesses, and covers everything from one-off trips to a single destination to long-term travel or round-the-world trips. The clinic presents itself as an appointment-based service, but also accepts same-day, last-minute and walk-in appointments, with opening hours that include early morning, lunchtime, evening and weekend slots, unlike GP surgeries.

Vaccines and treatments available

The vaccination catalogue includes typhoid, diphtheria, tetanus and polio, hepatitis A, yellow fever and combinations such as hepatitis A plus tetanus, hepatitis A plus typhoid, hepatitis A, tetanus and typhoid, and typhoid plus tetanus. The clinic also offers antimalarial tablets and is a registered yellow fever vaccination centre in the United Kingdom, able to issue the official vaccination certificate when the destination country requires it. It also sells travel health products such as insect repellent and first aid kits.

Destinations and health requirements

The clinic offers destination and vaccine search tools to guide travellers. Among the destinations listed in its information are Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Tanzania, Indonesia, South Africa and Mexico, with different numbers of required vaccines depending on the case. For Umrah and Hajj pilgrims, the clinic shares the current Saudi regulations effective from 1 February 2025, which require meningococcal meningitis vaccination for all visitors. The certificate must be issued no less than ten days before travel and is valid for three or five years depending on the case, and adults and children over one year of age must receive the quadrivalent vaccine (A, C, Y, W135). The clinic warns that, due to increased demand for ACWY meningococcal vaccines, it is advisable to call to check availability and arrange an appointment.
