THE KIWI APPROACH
A weekend away, a family holiday and a longer trip can raise different health questions.
Your itinerary matters. Our pharmacist looks at where you are going, how you’ll be travelling and what you already have covered.

What the consultation covers
The discussion includes destination-specific vaccine recommendations, routine immunizations, prevention strategies and the travel-health supplies worth packing. Advice is based on your trip, not a standard list for every traveller.
Bring the details of your trip
Bring travel dates, destinations, planned activities and any vaccination records you have.
If you are travelling as a family, ask the team how to arrange the right appointments.
Discuss medications and health history privately with the pharmacist.
Give yourself time
Some vaccines need time or more than one dose. Book early where you can.
If departure is close, call and ask what can still be arranged. The team will confirm appointment and vaccine availability rather than assume everything is on hand.
Leave with a practical next step
Ask what needs to happen before departure, what to bring with you and whether another appointment is needed. Confirm consultation and vaccine costs with the pharmacy before your visit.
