York Travel Clinic
Monkbar Pharmacy’s York travel vaccination clinic is open 7 days a week.
We are also a registered Yellow Fever Centre in York.
We were one of the very first pharmacy based travel health clinics in the country and have been providing high quality and friendly travel health advice to a huge range of travellers since the year the pharmacy opened, 2012.
Malaria advice
Malaria is a deadly parasitic disease transmitted by the bite of mosquitoes. Whether or not you are at risk of catching malaria depends on a range of factors. When taken properly, anti-malarial drugs are 90-100% effective but must always be combined with other bite avoidance measures. The most effective anti-malarial drug varies from destination to destination so it is essential to obtain the most up to date information before you travel.
As one of the oldest pharmacy travel clinics in the country, at Monkbar Pharmacy, our clinicians have been helping people to examine their risk and avoid catching malaria for many years. Book an appointment today with one of our experienced and friendly clinicians to help to determine your risk and how you can avoid catching malaria. We can supply a range of anti-malarial medications depending on which is best suited to you and your trip.

Yellow Fever
We are a registered Yellow Fever Centre which means that we have undergone all necessary additional training and assurances to meet the high standards necessary to become provide information, advice, vaccination and certification for yellow fever. We understand that yellow fever vaccination may be essential for some travellers and destinations but, for others, careful consideration of the risks and benefits of the vaccine is needed. Our clinicians are knowledgeable and experienced at having these conversations and can help you to decide what is best for you.
How Many Vaccine Doses Required? One
How Long Before I Travel Should I Get Vaccinated? At least 10 days before you travel. This will allow enough time for your body to develop protection against the yellow fever infection. Your proof of vaccination certificate (see below) will only become valid 10 days after your vaccination. This is a requirement before entry into some countries is permitted so make sure you plan in advance.
How Effective is the Vaccination? The vaccination provides protection for 95-100% of those who have it.
How Long Does Protection Last For? At least 35 years and may even be life-long. Since July 2016, vaccination certificates have been valid for life (they previously expired after 10 years).

Vaccine requirements
Vaccines afford protection against diseases that can make you extremely ill or at worse even kill. Despite known risks, almost one in four UK holidaymakers don’t get any vaccinations, despite travelling to areas that have life-threatening infectious disease. Vaccinations protect you against many travel-related infections such as polio, typhoid, hepatitis A and B, rabies, cholera and Japanese encephalitis. Vaccine requirements vary depending upon destination and the nature of your travel, so if you have booked a trip and want to know how to best protect your health, using the booking link on this page to make an appointment to speak with one of our highly trained clinicians for a personal travel vaccine schedule.
