From Chester, head east on the A51 towards Nantwich and join the A534 into Crewe — about 24 miles — or take one of the frequent direct trains between Chester and Crewe stations.
Chester and Crewe are two of the best-connected places in the North West, and that link is exactly what makes a Crewe appointment practical for people living in the city. Direct trains run frequently between Chester and Crewe stations with no changes, and the clinic at 139-141 Nantwich Road is only a short walk from the platforms at the Crewe end. Drivers take the A51 east through Tarvin and on towards Nantwich, joining the A534 into Crewe; the trip is around 24 miles and typically takes 40 to 45 minutes.
As a cathedral city with Roman walls, the Rows and its own racecourse, Chester draws visitors from around the world — but its residents are just as busy going the other way. Long-haul holidays, honeymoons, business trips, university years abroad and visits to family overseas all raise the same question: which vaccinations does this particular journey need? When a GP surgery cannot offer the full travel service, or local appointment availability is tight, a short hop along the line to Crewe solves the problem.
The service Chester travellers most often make the journey for is yellow fever. Crewe Travel Clinic is a Registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre, and a number of countries across Africa and South America ask for proof of vaccination in the form of an ICVP before they let you in. We administer the vaccine and issue the internationally recognised certificate on the same day, so one visit from Chester covers the paperwork as well as the protection itself.
The rest of your pre-travel health fits into the same appointment. NHS-trained clinicians go through your route country by country, drawing on destination guides that reflect current recommendations, and give whatever jabs are due there and then. Because the clinic is also a GPhC-registered pharmacy (registration 1029608), antimalarial tablets are dispensed on site rather than sent off on a separate prescription.
Six to eight weeks of notice is the ideal, as a handful of vaccines are given as multi-dose courses — but do not let a nearer departure date put you off calling. Phone 01270 215837 or book online, pick a time that lines up with a direct train or a clear run down the A51, and travel health becomes one more thing ticked off the list before you fly.
Book a single consultation and we will give every vaccine you need for your trip — including same-day yellow fever certificates where required.
