TRAVEL VACCINATIONS
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, you will need to make a telephone appointment with the Practice Nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting, in order to determine what vaccinations are required.
Each member of your party travelling will need separate telephone appointments - including children - to allow the nurse enough time to look at individual vaccination requirements. Please note, that any person travelling, who is over the age of 16, must be available to discuss their individual requirements, due to medical confidentiality.
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 8 weeks before you travel otherwise you will be directed to a private travel clinic. This is because a second follow up appointment will be required with the practice nurse to discuss and administer 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 over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS. Click the following link for our charges.
