Incredible service – so helpful
Excellent service! Chazile went above and beyond to prepare me for my travels to south east Asia. Very kind, sharp and added helpful bits of information that will be useful during my travels. Even created a vaccine booklet for me that I asked for to keep track of my vaccines for the future. Highly recommended The London Vaccination Clinic. Thanks again Chazile 🙂 Nick
Travel Vaccinations for Turkmenistan
The table below provides a general guide as to the Travel Vaccinations that may be advised to you for travel to Turkmenistan
Turkmenistan in Central Asia is interesting because part of it is coastal, on the Caspian sea and a large part of it is desert, namely the Karakum Desert. It is a wealthy country for this region of Central Asia with gas and oil being explored here. However, getting a visa to visit is notoriously difficult so make allowances for a long and difficult process and an extended wait before booking any flights.
If you are lucky enough to get in, take a look at the pilgrim shrines, the Karakum Desert or the Yangykala Canyon. Also pay a visit to the Garlyk caves or the underground lake at Kow Ata. There is lots to see here so take your time.
There is No Risk of Malaria in Turkmenistan

Travel vacines
Attended a consultation for travel vacines, the nurse explained everything with care, provided good advice. We then add a follow up consultation with a different nurse for the vaccines and was also very kind and professional. Was very impressed, we did not feel pressured to have more vacines then reasonable and both nurses gave pricing information upfront.

Very positive experience
Really easy to book and the nurse who I saw in Liverpool Street was really kind and helpful. She went through my vaccination history, what I needed for my trip and explained everything I needed to know ahead of administrating the vaccine I needed.
I am glad I arrived early as the venue was tricky to find as the name of the building has changed so doesn’t match Google maps. Put me in a slight panic as I thought I was going to miss my appointment but I found it in the end!

My nurse was a beautiful soul inside…
My nurse was a beautiful soul inside and out. I have a fear of needles and she was so patient and reassuring from beginning to end. She asked me questions, helped me to relax and made me feel like an individual rather than just someone on the list for the day.
