Travel Vaccinations
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. View the NHS Travel Vaccination Advice.
You can also make a routine appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. We will discuss with you which country and the area within the country you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.
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.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
