Travel Vaccinations

PLEASE NOTE FROM 1 JANUARY 2019 WE WILL NO LONGER BE OFFERING THE FULL TRAVEL SERVICE AT THIS SURGERY AND YOU WILL NEED TO APPROACH A PRIVATE CLINIC FOR ADVICE. OUR NURSE WILL STILL ADMINISTER DIPTHERIA,TETANUS,POLIO (COMBINED BOOSTER),  TYPHOID, HEPATITIS A AND CHOLERA IF YOU ARE ADVISED YOU NEED THESE.

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

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Caribbean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

 

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible  - at least 8 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment may be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations.  These vaccines may have to be ordered if 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.  Appointments with a suitably qualified practitioner are limited at present and you are asked to notify us of your travel plans as early as possible. 

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge.  This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
