Travel vaccinations
Vaccinations for foreign travel are given by the practice nurse. Please allow plenty of time to arrange your vaccinations as sometimes more than one appointment will be required to allow the different treatments to work. Patients are encouraged to contact us to make arrangements for their travel vaccinations 3 months before they travel. We may not be able to provide this service if requests are received less than twelve weeks before you travel and therefore you may need to source a private travel clinic.
Not all vaccinations are available free of charge through the NHS. For more information please see our fees for non NHS services.
We offer free of charge the following vaccines depending on a risk assessment at the booked travel consultation: Hepatitis A, Tetanus, Typhoid, Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR)
Please also note that we are not able to guarantee the availability of vaccines and will tell you during the consultation if you will need to source elsewhere.
We ask patients to complete a travel risk assessment form to confirm the nature of their travel plans, so that we can ensure that you are provided with a vaccination plan that offers you the best possible protection.
A consultation with a practice nurse will be booked following submission of the form. Advice will not be provided without a travel consultation.
Patients can also access the NaTHNaC website to check what vaccines they may need for travel and also for travel advice with links to other informative websites for example, Foreign Commonwealth Office, malaria prevention, outbreaks at your destination.
