Travel Vaccinations

 

Information and advice for travelling abroad

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please complete our online travel form.

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 8 to 10 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.

If you go abroad regularly please discuss this with a nurse as it may be possible for you to gain long-term immunity by having follow-up immunisations. 

For those with a complicated itinerary or who are intending to go ‘back-packing’ we would recommend contacting us several months in advance if possible.

The responsibility for all aspects of preparation for travel abroad must remain with the individual. We offer travel advice and the necessary injections in our travel clinics run by our practice nurse. We offer only free NHS vaccines.

Local Travel Centre

For some additional vaccines, you may have to attend a local travel centre and will need to pay for these.
