Rabies: Recommended for travellers engaging in outdoor activities or staying in rural areas where contact with animals is likely.
Japanese Encephalitis: Important for those visiting rural areas in Asia, especially during the monsoon season.
Meningitis ACWY: Often required for travellers to certain African countries and for those participating in the Hajj pilgrimage.
Cholera: Advised for areas with active transmission, particularly for humanitarian workers or long-term travellers in affected regions.
Malaria Prevention and Advice
Malaria remains a significant risk in many tropical and subtropical regions. At Junction Pharmacy, we provide comprehensive advice on malaria prevention, including the most effective antimalarial medications. Our healthcare professionals will assess your travel plans and medical history to recommend the best prophylactic regimen for you. We also offer practical tips on avoiding mosquito bites, such as using insect repellents and sleeping under treated mosquito nets.
