Travel Vaccinations

Non-urgent advice: Travel Vaccinations 

Please note we only offer vaccinations that are ‘available free of charge on the NHS’ – we do not offer any private travel vaccinations or medication.

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to complete a travel form which is available from the practice and return this to us preferably 8 weeks prior to your travel date.  The practice nurse will then be able to advise you as to what vaccinations or other travel precautions you need to be aware of i.e. infections spread by insect bites and how to avoid these.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required is available on the link below:

It is important to return your travel form as early as possible  – at least 6 weeks before you travel – as an appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations.  Your appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

There will be a charge for some travel vaccines; this is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.  Information regarding charges for travel related vaccination/certificates etc is available at reception. Please note we are unable to offer private vaccinations.
