Private Speciality Vaccines at Parnell Pharmacy, Bow

While travel vaccines protect you abroad, Speciality Vaccines are designed to protect you and your family from common infections right here at home. At Parnell Pharmacy on Roman Road, we offer a range of private vaccinations that may not be routinely available on the NHS for all age groups. Whether you are looking to protect your child against chickenpox or seeking the shingles vaccine as an adult, our clinical team in Bow, London E3 is here to provide expert care.

Our Range of Speciality Vaccines

We provide access to essential private vaccines that offer long-term health benefits and peace of mind:

  • Chickenpox Vaccine: Although a common childhood illness, chickenpox can be severe in older children and adults. This vaccine is not part of the routine UK childhood schedule, but it is available privately at our clinic for those who wish to avoid the discomfort and potential complications of the virus.
  • Shingles Vaccine: Shingles is a painful rash caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. While the NHS offers this to specific age groups, we provide a private shingles vaccination service for those who do not yet meet the NHS criteria but want early protection.
  • HPV Vaccine (Human Papillomavirus): The HPV vaccine protects against several types of cancer and genital warts. If you or your child missed the school-based vaccination programme, you can complete the course privately at our Bow pharmacy.
  • MMR (Measles, Mumps & Rubella): With cases of measles rising, ensuring you have had both doses of the MMR vaccine is vital. We offer private MMR boosters for adults and children who are not up to date with their routine immunisations.

Why Choose a Private Speciality Vaccine?

Many patients choose our private service to fill gaps in the routine NHS schedule or to gain protection earlier than the standard age requirements. Choosing Parnell Pharmacy means:

  • No Long Waiting Lists: Book an appointment that fits your schedule.
  • Expert Clinical Care: Our pharmacists are fully trained in vaccine administration and can answer any health concerns you may have.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

Every vaccination starts with a private consultation in our clinical room. We will review your medical history, discuss any potential side effects, and ensure the vaccine is safe for you. Most speciality vaccines are administered in two or more doses, and our team will help you schedule your follow-up appointments to ensure full immunity.
