Question 1

Do I need an appointment?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking online or calling ahead on 0207 405 1039 to confirm availability. Same day appointments are available. Online booking secures your preferred time slot and helps reduce waiting on arrival.

Question 2

How much does a travel consultation cost?

Accepted Answer

Travel consultations at Holborn Clinic are completely free. You only pay for the vaccines or medications prescribed during your visit. There are no hidden consultation fees.

Question 3

How far in advance should I get travel vaccinations?

Accepted Answer

Ideally 6-8 weeks before departure, as some vaccines require multiple doses. However, we offer same day appointments for last-minute travellers — many vaccines provide protection from a single dose.

Question 4

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as cash. Payment is taken at the clinic after your consultation — there is no online payment required when booking.

Question 5

Can I cancel or reschedule my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel or reschedule online through your patient portal at any time. There is no minimum notice period and no cancellation fee.

Question 6

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

We're at 60 Lamb's Conduit Street, London WC1N 3LW — a 2-minute walk from Holborn station (Piccadilly & Central lines) and 5 minutes from Russell Square station.

Question 7

Do you provide Yellow Fever certificates?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we are an approved Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre. Your International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) is issued on the day and is valid for life.

Question 8

Can I get multiple vaccines in one visit?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most travel vaccines can be administered in the same appointment. Our pharmacist will advise if any specific combinations need to be spaced apart.

Question 9

Do you provide vaccines for Hajj and Umrah?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we provide the required Meningitis ACWY vaccine and issue the certificate needed for Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage visa applications.

Question 10

Are your vaccines the same as the NHS?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we use the same licensed vaccines available on the NHS. The difference is that travel vaccines are not routinely funded by the NHS, so they are provided as a private service.

Question 11

Do you vaccinate children?

Accepted Answer

We can vaccinate children and adolescents for most travel vaccines. Some vaccines have minimum age requirements — our pharmacist will confirm suitability during your consultation.

Bring any previous vaccination records you have (yellow card or digital records). If you're getting a Yellow Fever vaccine, no additional documents are needed — we issue the certificate on the day.
