Travel Health

If you’re planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.

Please complete our ‘Travel Health Questionnaire’ and bring/post it to the surgery. We will contact you to make an appointment when the nurse has the information needed. It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible as some travel vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine.

  • 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.
Please give at least eight weeks notice.

Some vaccines need to be given well in advance to allow your body to develop immunity. And some vaccines involve a number of doses spread over several weeks or months.
