Travelling abroad
Pharmacy teams can advise customers that there’s a risk of catching diseases such as malaria from insect bites in certain parts of the world including Africa, Asia and South America.
Some pharmacies offer travel health clinics which are able to supply customers with antimalarial tablets to avoid becoming infected and give other travel health and vaccine advice.
