Travel Information

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 3 weeks before you travel – as you may need a second appointment 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.

Most travel vaccines are ordered as a private service and these incur a charge. This is because travel vaccination is not included in the services provided by the NHS and therefore is a chargeable service.
