Travelling to Peru? Here is what you need.
Peru is one of South America's biggest UK destinations - Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Lima, Cusco, the Amazon at Iquitos and Lake Titicaca. Yellow Fever is required for jungle regions and altitude shapes the itinerary planning.
NaTHNaC recommends Hepatitis A, Tetanus and Typhoid for most travellers to Peru, with Rabies, Tuberculosis and Yellow fever recommended for some travellers depending on itinerary.
Aqua Travel Clinic in West Hampstead is operated by Aqua Pharmacy (GPhC-registered premises 1123406, owned by Naspram Pharma Limited) under the Superintendent Pharmacist at Aqua Pharmacy. We are a NaTHNaC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre and can usually fit you in same-week for Peru travel vaccines. Book online in 60 seconds.
What is included in your Peru travel consultation
Everything you need for a safe Peru trip, in one short appointment with a GPhC-registered pharmacist.
Hepatitis A + Typhoid
Standard for food/water hygiene. Available as separate vaccines or combined Viatim in one injection. Hep A covers 12 months from one dose (25 years with booster); Typhoid protects around 3 years.
Rabies (where indicated)
Recommended for rural stays, long trips, cyclists, backpackers, children, VFR travel and anyone likely to have close animal contact. Three-dose pre-exposure schedule on days 0, 7 and 21-28 (UK Green Book). Pharmacies cannot administer post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) - if bitten or scratched abroad, wash the wound thoroughly and go straight to A&E, NHS 111 or a local hospital.
Tetanus / Diphtheria / Polio (Td/IPV) booster
A 10-year booster is standard for travel and takes 60 seconds in the same appointment.
Malaria prescription + bite avoidance
Risk varies by region. The pharmacist checks your itinerary against NaTHNaC and prescribes atovaquone/proguanil, doxycycline or mefloquine where appropriate. DEET and clothing advice included.

Yellow Fever is present in parts of Peru. NaTHNaC recommends vaccination for some travellers depending on itinerary - particularly jungle, forest and rural areas in risk zones. Single dose gives lifelong protection. Aqua is a NaTHNaC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre and issues the ICVP in-clinic.
Tuberculosis (BCG)
Considered for long-stay work in healthcare, community immersion and family travel with young children in higher-risk regions of Peru. Reviewed at consultation.
Malaria
Malaria risk varies by region in Peru. We check your itinerary against NaTHNaC and either prescribe atovaquone/proguanil, doxycycline or mefloquine for higher-risk areas, or confirm you do not need cover. Bite avoidance advice (DEET, long sleeves at dawn and dusk) is included.
