First Chikungunya Vaccine in the UK

We’re proud to announce that CityDoc is among the first specialist travel clinics in the UK to offer the brand new chikungunya vaccine, officially released last week!

Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne virus found in parts of South and Central America, the Caribbean, and Asia.

It can cause severe joint pain—especially in the hands and feet—that can last weeks, or even months to years in some cases.

Last week, Derek Evans FFTM RCPS (Travel Health & Vaccination Lead) vaccinated our first patient, who is preparing for a 6-month journey across South America.
