Jetting off on holiday? Carewise Pharmacy has the capital covered for travel vaccines

Carewise Pharmacy has announced a major restock of the Men B (Meningococcal B Vaccine) vaccine, helping improve access for patients looking for protection and those preparing for travel where vaccination advice may be recommended.

With Edinburgh residents preparing for holidays, Carewise Pharmacy is urging travellers not to leave vaccines until the last minute.

From Thailand and Bali to Saudi Arabia, Africa and South America, the Polwarth-based pharmacy is seeing huge demand for travel health appointments as more people look to travel safely and confidently this year.

Carewise Pharmacy offers a wide range of travel vaccines and expert travel health advice, helping patients get holiday-ready quickly and conveniently without long waits.

But it’s not just travel vaccines keeping the team busy.

Carewise Pharmacy is also continuing to provide Covid and flu vaccinations — and earlier this year became the only pharmacy in Edinburgh still offering flu vaccines after many other pharmacies had completely run out of stock.

The pharmacy says this was down to strong preparation, organisation and planning ahead.

Yousef, Jamil and Nuhan, the pharmacist trio behind Carewise Pharmacy, said: “We pride ourselves on being prepared and putting patients first. While many places ran out of flu vaccines, we made sure our community still had access. We’ve now secured a major Men B vaccine restock alongside our travel vaccine services so patients have access when they need it.

“Whether you’re travelling for holiday, Hajj, Umrah, work or visiting family, we want people protected before they fly.”

Get in touch

Since taking over the pharmacy earlier this year, the new Carewise team has expanded services significantly, with a strong focus on accessible healthcare, prevention and community wellbeing.

The pharmacy is encouraging anyone travelling this to book early, particularly for destinations where multiple vaccines may be required.

Travel vaccine appointments are available directly through the pharmacy.
