Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to contact Reception and request a Travel Health form to complete, which will be then passed to 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.  An appointment can then be made to have your vaccinations done.

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible – at least 2 months before you travel – as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine.

Your second appointment needs to be at least 1 month before you travel to allow the vaccines to work

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.

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.
