Travel Vaccinations
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 8 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Travel Vaccinations Offered by the Practice under NHS Services:
- Typhoid
- Hep A
- MMR
- Tetanus
- Diptheria
- Polio
If you require any travel vaccinations that are not listed above, you need to book these vaccinations with a travel clinic as a private service.
The Practice does not provide a private travel vaccination service.
