For over 55 years, Samios Pharmacy has cared for families in Sunnybank Hills, Runcorn, Eight Mile Plains, Sunnybank, Coopers Plains and Acacia Ridge. Owner-pharmacists Peter and John and their team are here for your prescriptions, vaccinations, weekly medicines packs and everyday health advice, with the kind of friendly, personal service you'd expect from your local pharmacy.

A consultation with a specifically trained pharmacist covering your travel itinerary and health needs, including relevant vaccinations (see our individual vaccine pages, such as Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Japanese Encephalitis) and general travel health advice.

Key benefits:

• One convenient visit for vaccinations and travel health advice
• Recommendations tailored to your specific itinerary
• Peace of mind before you fly

This service may be suitable if you:

• Are planning overseas travel and want vaccination and health advice tailored to your trip
• Need several travel vaccines and would like you arranged in one visit where possible

Travel health recommendations are individually tailored to your itinerary, and requirements can change based on your destination and current outbreak advice.

Your pharmacist will assess your individual suitability, including your relevant medical history and current symptoms, before proceeding. 

Recommendations depend on your individual itinerary and health history, confirmed at consultation. For complex itineraries or higher-risk destinations, additional specialist travel medicine advice may be recommended. 

Ask your pharmacist for the relevant Consumer Medicines Information (CMI) if a medicine is provided.

Before Your Consultation

Be prepared to discuss:

• Your travel itinerary and planned activities
• Your vaccination history
• Any medicines you are currently taking

During Your Consultation

Your pharmacist will review your itinerary and health history before recommending relevant vaccinations and preventive medicines.

The consultation may also include general travel health advice tailored to your destination.

How far ahead of my trip should I book?

Ideally several weeks before departure, particularly if you need a vaccine course requiring more than one dose.

What will the consultation cover?

Your itinerary, activities, and health history, followed by recommendations tailored to your trip.

Does this include vaccinations, or just advice?

Both — relevant vaccinations can generally be arranged as part of the same visit, subject to availability.
