{"product_id":"chikungunya-vaccine-vimkunya","title":"Chikungunya Vaccination (Vimkunya)","description":"\u003cp\u003eChikungunya vaccination with Vimkunya is a private pharmacist service at Ways Pharmacy in Holborn, London. Chikungunya is a viral infection spread mainly by Aedes mosquitoes in parts of tropical and subtropical regions, and during outbreaks where these mosquitoes are present. It typically causes sudden fever and severe joint pain, and the joint pain can sometimes last for weeks, months or longer. Vimkunya is a non-live vaccine that helps protect against the disease. It is given only after a pharmacist has assessed your itinerary and health and confirmed it is suitable for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to get this vaccine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/app.nymoclinic.co.uk\/public\/pgd-book\/ways-pharmacy-holborn\/4ccc09ce-5fd3-486a-ada7-f368fe5214b0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStart your free online assessment.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e Answer the health questions online and confirm your identity (upload photo ID, or show it on a video call).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePharmacist reviews and speaks with you.\u003c\/strong\u003e A GPhC-registered pharmacist reviews your destination, travel dates, health, medicines and previous vaccines and checks that the vaccine is suitable for you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIf suitable, pay and book.\u003c\/strong\u003e Once the pharmacist confirms the vaccine is suitable, you pay on this page, or call \u003ca href=\"tel:+442081067084\"\u003e020 8106 7084\u003c\/a\u003e to book.
