Evelyn JJHad our travel vaccine at the north Harrow branch. We were initially booked in Edgware but the vaccine didn't arrive on time for our appointment which was not the pharmacy's fault. They very kindly sorted us out and we subsequently had it done near to where we live. Giving a 5 star as both pharmacists were great!
