Malaria Prevention
We are here to ensure that you stay healthy and safe throughout your travels.
Travelling to a malaria-endemic area?
Lichfield Travel Clinic offers expert guidance on malaria prevention, including personalised prescriptions for antimalarial medications based on your destination and medical history. We also provide practical advice on how to avoid mosquito bites and reduce your exposure while abroad.
In addition to preventive medication, Lichfield Travel Clinic is pleased to offer the latest malaria vaccination. This vaccine adds an extra layer of protection, especially for those visiting regions with high malaria transmission. While it does not replace the need for antimalarial tablets and insect repellents, it greatly reduces the risk of serious illness.

Safety is our top priority, and we will advise you accordingly.
Some countries require an International Certificate of Vaccination (ICVP) for specific diseases, such as Yellow Fever. If this applies to your destination, we will issue an official certificate during your appointment. Always check entry requirements before you travel, or ask us for help.
