Travel Vaccinations for Corringham
Essex Clinics is your local Corringham travel clinic — based right here at Hassengate Pharmacy on Southend Road. Yellow Fever Centre, pharmacist-led, same-day appointments routinely available.
Travel vaccinations for Corringham residents
Hassengate Pharmacy is on Southend Road in the heart of Corringham — the same SS17 postcode, walking distance or a 3-minute drive from the village centre. For local residents that means same-day or walk-in travel consultations are realistic in a way they aren't for clinics further away. Free parking on-site, late opening seven days a week including Saturdays till 9pm, and every travel vaccine in stock.
Most Corringham travellers we see fall into a few categories: families heading to South Asia or East Africa to visit relatives (VFR travel — typhoid, Hep A, sometimes rabies awareness), Hajj and Umrah travellers needing Meningitis ACWY, retired couples planning Mediterranean cruises that touch yellow-fever risk countries, and workers travelling for short-notice contracts where there's no time to wait for GP appointments.
Yellow Fever and the South Essex catchment
Yellow Fever vaccine isn't dispensed at GPs — only NaTHNaC-designated centres can issue the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP). Hassengate Pharmacy is the closest designated centre for the SS17 / SS16 corridor, which matters if you're flying to Brazil, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania or Côte d'Ivoire, or transiting through countries that require entry-certificate proof. We can issue the certificate on the day; it's valid for life.
Common travel vaccines we administer
Stock includes Yellow Fever (Stamaril), Hepatitis A (Avaxim/Havrix), Hepatitis B (Engerix B / Twinrix combined A+B), Typhoid (Typhim Vi), Rabies (Rabipur), Japanese Encephalitis (Ixiaro), Meningitis ACWY (Nimenrix/Menveo), Cholera oral (Dukoral), Dengue (Qdenga), Chikungunya (Ixchiq), Tick-borne Encephalitis, and routine boosters like Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio. Stocked on-site — no "come back next week".
Malaria — tablets prescribed in the same visit
Our pharmacist is a GPhC-registered Independent Prescriber. That means malaria tablets — Malarone (atovaquone/proguanil), Doxycycline, or Mefloquine (Lariam) — are prescribed and dispensed in the same visit, with the right regimen selected based on your destination and medical history. No follow-up GP appointment needed. See TravelHealthPro country-specific advice for malaria-risk areas.
Booking, NHS vs private, and how much it costs
Some travel vaccines are free on the NHS (Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio combined, Hep A and Typhoid for certain destinations) via your GP — book early as NHS slots can be limited. The private-only jabs (Yellow Fever, Rabies, Japanese Encephalitis, Meningitis ACWY for Hajj, Cholera, Dengue, Chikungunya) are always private and we keep them in stock. Pricing varies by vaccine — we'll give you the full quote at consultation; the consultation itself is included in the appointment fee.
