Travel clinic for Altrincham residents
Altrincham residents have plenty of options for travel vaccines on paper. In practice, the closest NaTHNaC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre with same-day Independent Prescriber capability is Trafford Clinic in Old Trafford — a straightforward 15–20-minute drive up the A56 or a single Metrolink line journey to Trafford Bar. We operate from Empire Pharmacy, 122 Seymour Grove (GPhC premises 1123966), led by Haroon Mohammad Iqbal MPharm, IP (GPhC reg. 2051093).
The vaccine and prescribing menu
Stamaril (Yellow Fever) with same-day ICVP, Menveo (Meningococcal ACWY for Hajj/Umrah), Avaxim/Havrix (Hepatitis A), Engerix B (Hepatitis B with accelerated 0/7/21 schedule for short-notice travel), Typhim Vi (Typhoid), Rabipur (Rabies pre-exposure), Ixiaro (Japanese Encephalitis), Dukoral (Cholera), Qdenga (Dengue) and Ixchiq (Chikungunya).

Altrincham travel — the leisure and family angle
Altrincham bookings skew leisure and long-haul: South-East Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Bali), South America (Yellow Fever for Colombia, Peru, Brazil), African safaris (Yellow Fever for Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa transit), and increasingly multi-generational family trips back to India and Pakistan (see our India and Pakistan pages). Family bookings are easy — we plan schedules across all ages in one visit, with Yellow Fever from 9 months and most other travel vaccines from age 1.
