Murrayfield Travel Clinic. Keeping Edinburgh Safe Abroad.

Our travel clinic is at 115 Corstorphine Road, Edinburgh EH12 5PZ, inside Murrayfield Pharmacy. It's a two-minute walk from Murrayfield Stadium tram stop and directly on the Corstorphine Road bus corridor, so it's an easy travel clinic to reach from Murrayfield, Roseburn, Corstorphine, Haymarket, Gorgie, Balgreen and the west side of Edinburgh city centre.

Our full travel vaccination price list is published on this page so you can compare before you book. Most travel vaccines in Edinburgh sit between £30 and £110 per dose depending on which one you need, and we price below Boots and Superdrug on the vaccinations travellers buy most. Your travel health consultation is free when you have your vaccinations with us, and you get the total cost before anything is given.

Usually yes. We hold slots back each week specifically for last-minute travellers, so if you're flying in the next few days call 0131 337 5100 and we'll do everything we can to see you. Even at short notice there is almost always something worth having — several travel vaccines give useful protection within days.

Booking is better because it guarantees a pharmacist is free and the vaccines you need are in the fridge, and you can book online in under a minute. If you're passing, call ahead on 0131 337 5100 and we'll tell you honestly whether we can fit you in that day.

Ideally four to eight weeks before you fly, because some courses need more than one dose spaced over several weeks. Book earlier for rabies, hepatitis B or Japanese encephalitis, which run over three to four weeks. If you're inside that window, book anyway — accelerated schedules exist and we use them regularly.

No. You do not need a GP referral or a letter to use a private travel clinic in Edinburgh. You book directly with us, and we can see you when your GP practice can't offer a travel appointment before your departure date.

It depends on where you're going, what you'll be doing there and your vaccination history — not just the country. Bring your itinerary and your pharmacist will assess it against current NaTHNaC and TravelHealthPro guidance and tell you what's recommended, what's required for entry, and equally what you don't need.

Yes. Yellow fever vaccination is £75 and your International Certificate of Vaccination (ICVP) is included and issued at the appointment, so you leave with the paperwork in hand. Bring your passport, because the certificate has to match your travel document exactly. If you're over 60 or have a condition affecting your immune system, we'll assess suitability carefully and talk you through the alternatives, including an exemption letter where that's the right call.

Yes. The pre-exposure rabies course is one of the most common requests we see, particularly for travellers heading to South and South East Asia, Africa and South America, and for anyone working with animals abroad. It runs over three doses, so book early — we'll plan the dose dates around your flight.

Both are given here at our Corstorphine Road travel clinic, usually in the same appointment as everything else you need. Typhoid and hepatitis A are the two most commonly recommended travel vaccines for India, South East Asia, Africa and South America, and both are single-dose for most travellers.

Yes. The meningitis ACWY vaccination required for a Hajj or Umrah visa is available here, and the certificate is issued at your appointment so you have the paperwork the same day. Book well ahead of your visa application date.

Yes. If your trip carries a malaria risk your pharmacist will talk through bite avoidance and supply suitable antimalarial tablets in the same visit, subject to a suitability assessment. There's no need for a separate appointment or a second trip.

Yes. We vaccinate children regularly and see whole families before a trip. Bring their red book or vaccination record if you have it so we can see what they've already had — some travel vaccines have different schedules or doses for children.

A few are available on the NHS through some GP practices, but many of the ones travellers actually need — including rabies, Japanese encephalitis, yellow fever and tick-borne encephalitis — are private everywhere. In practice the bigger issue is availability: NHS travel appointments in Edinburgh are often booked weeks ahead, which is why most people come to a private travel clinic.

About twenty minutes for most travellers. That covers your risk assessment, the vaccinations themselves and your written record, all in one visit — you shouldn't need to come back for a first appointment and then again for the jabs.

Your travel itinerary with dates, a list of any medicines you take, and your vaccination record if you have one. If you've had travel vaccines before, even years ago and elsewhere, tell us — it often means fewer doses and a lower cost.

Often yes, but it needs a proper assessment. Some vaccines are avoided in pregnancy and some depend on your medical history or medication, so your pharmacist will go through it with you and give you a clear recommendation. If something isn't suitable, we'll tell you and explain the alternatives.

Yes. We regularly see families travelling together, student groups, volunteers and staff being sent abroad for work. Call 0131 337 5100 and we'll arrange consecutive appointments so everyone is done in one trip.

There's on-street parking close by on Corstorphine Road and the surrounding streets. If you're coming by public transport, we're beside the Murrayfield Stadium tram stop and on the main bus routes between Corstorphine and Edinburgh city centre.

We're open Monday to Friday 9:00am to 6:00pm and Saturday 9:00am to 5:00pm, closed Sunday. The full Saturday opening means you don't have to take time off work for your travel appointment, and late afternoon slots suit anyone coming from the city centre after work. Saturday fills fastest, so book ahead if a weekend slot suits you.
