Travel Information

If you are planning a holiday, please remember to book in advance so that you can be sure to have enough time to complete a full immunisation course if necessary. Please download the risk travel assessment form. We also offer yellow fever injections here if needed for the country you are visiting.

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:
   Africa    Asia (Central)
   Asia (East)    Australasia & Pacific
   Caribbean    Central America
   Europe & Russia    Middle East
   North America    South America

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required 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 on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because travel vaccination is not included in the services provided by the NHS and therefore is a chargeable service.
