Travel Clinic for Bognor Regis Residents
Fifty minutes west via the A259 and A27. Yellow Fever centre, every travel vaccine in stock, same-day appointments.
Travel vaccines for Bognor Regis, 50 minutes west on the A27
Bognor Regis sends a wide travel mix our way — Butlin's families heading abroad off-season, retirees on Mediterranean and long-haul cruises sailing from Southampton, business travellers using Gatwick, plus second-home owners on regular European trips. Yellow Fever vaccination centres are scarce in West Sussex, so many Bognor residents already come down to Portsmouth when they need the ICVP certificate. Gunwharf Travel Clinic is around 50 minutes west on the A259 and A27 — past Chichester and Havant, then south on the M275 into Portsea. Direct trains via Barnham or Havant take around 70 minutes. Same-day appointments are routinely available — no GP referral, no waiting list.
Abdullah Seyed (MPharm, GPhC reg. 2211356) leads day-to-day clinical practice. Merali Pharmacy, operating Gunwharf Travel Clinic, is a NaTHNaC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre — authorised to issue valid International Certificates of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP). GPhC premises 1099145.
You'll get an itinerary-specific risk assessment against the latest TravelHealthPro and WHO advice, then every vaccine you need in the same appointment where clinically possible. Yellow Fever, Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, Rabies, Japanese Encephalitis, Meningitis ACWY, Cholera. Practical malaria advice for your route. Most appointments take 20–30 minutes; you'll walk out with the jabs, the certificate where relevant, and a written travel-health summary.
NHS travel services in Bognor Regis cover some vaccines through GP practices, but Yellow Fever, Rabies, Japanese Encephalitis, Hajj jabs and most cholera vaccines are private everywhere. The trip west on the A27 is often easier than chasing NHS travel appointments locally.

Travel vaccines for Bognor Regis travellers

Yellow Fever for cruise passengers from Bognor Regis
Most cruises stopping in sub-Saharan Africa, parts of South America, or some Caribbean ports require a valid Yellow Fever ICVP certificate issued at least 10 days before sailing. With NaTHNaC-designated centres scarce west of Chichester, Merali Pharmacy is among the closest registered centres for Bognor residents. The vaccine is a single injection with lifetime validity under current WHO rules — sort it once and you're certified for life.
NHS vs private for Bognor Regis residents
Some travel vaccines are NHS-funded through your GP for travel to certain destinations — typically Hepatitis A, Typhoid and the combined Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio booster. NHS Fit for Travel is the canonical reference. Yellow Fever, Rabies, Japanese Encephalitis, Meningitis ACWY for Hajj and Umrah, and most cholera courses are private everywhere in the UK. The trip west on the A27 is often easier than chasing limited NHS travel appointment slots locally.

Common questions from Bognor Regis travellers
Do I need a GP referral?
No. Anyone can self-refer to a private travel clinic. Book directly online at gunwharftravelclinic.co.uk/booking or call 02392 821859.
How far in advance should I book?
Ideally 4–6 weeks before travel — enough time for multi-dose courses and for the Yellow Fever certificate to become valid (10 days after the jab). Same-week and same-day appointments are routinely available too.
Which vaccines do I actually need?
Depends on where you're going, how long, what activities, age and medical history. Bring your itinerary and any previous vaccine records.
Are travel vaccines free on the NHS?
Some are. Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio combined, Hepatitis A and Typhoid through some GP practices for certain destinations. Yellow Fever, Rabies, Japanese Encephalitis, Meningitis ACWY for Hajj, and most cholera vaccines are private everywhere.
Can children be vaccinated here?
Yes. Most travel vaccines from age 1, Yellow Fever from 9 months. Children under 16 need a parent or guardian present.
What is the Yellow Fever certificate (ICVP)?
A WHO-recognised document for Yellow Fever vaccination. Required at the border for entry to Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda and others. Only NaTHNaC-designated centres can issue valid ones — Merali Pharmacy is one (premises 1099145). Yellow Fever centres are scarce in West Sussex, so many Bognor residents come down to Portsmouth for the certificate.
How long does an appointment take?
20–30 minutes total — pre-screen, vaccinate, certificate (where relevant) and written summary.
