Immunisations & Travel

Going abroad on holiday or business?

You may need travel advice and vaccinations.

As from 1st July 2018 the Practice can no longer offer advice on vaccines/medications required for foreign travel.

You will need to contact a specialised travel clinic at least 6 weeks before your anticipated travel date.

Please note this is a private service and will incur a fee.

Please check the link below to find out your nearest specialised travel clinic.

Some travel vaccinations are available on an NHS prescription and if these are recommended by the travel clinic we are happy to prescribe them at the surgery and administer them in the Treatment Room (appointment only).  These vaccines are Typhoid, Cholera, Polio and Hepatitis A.

All other travel vaccines are prescribed by the specialised travel clinic and incur a fee. Please note that some vaccines and all anti–malarials are only available on private prescription and can be expensive.
