Malarone/yellow fever jab

[mrsw]

Can anyone recommend the cheapest place to get these?

Many thanks

Your GP will give you a NHS prescription for malarone and will probably be as cheap as anywhere else to get the yellow fever jab. When I researched this last year I found that my GP was probably the best option; no more expensive than anywhere else for the yellow fever injection and NHS charges for the malarone which meant the children's were free.

Definitely via GP surgery (usually practice nurse) for the Malarone if your practice provides this service. In Southwark I think you still get this for the price of a normal prescription. In other parts of the country and from private clinics it costs about ?2.50 per tablet.

Theres a sign up in my surgery (forest hill rd) saying the PCT (which covers all Southwark surgeries) have stopped doing malarone on nhs prescription but will issue private prescription for it (approx ?80 for 2 wk course).

Would guess GP would be cheapest even with private px as their not going to be making a profit from this - unlike a private travel clinic which I'd expect would charge you for consultation as well. Probably worth enquiring at GP about yellow fever jab as well before looking at private alternatives.
