Travel Vaccinations
Advice for travellers is provided by the Practice Nurses who are specially trained. They can provide all vaccinations including yellow fever. Please be aware that requirements and recommendations for a particular destination may change at short notice so it is essential to obtain up to date information.
Ideally an appointment should be made at least six to eight weeks before departure to allow sufficient time to complete vaccination courses. You can also ring the surgery and leave a message, if you have any query regarding your travel vaccinations and/or require information on healthy travelling, and one of our practice nurses will call you back.
A number of travel vaccinations and anti-malarials are not available under the NHS and are therefore issued on a private prescription for which there will be a charge of £15 for the prescription plus a charge for the cost of the medication. If payment is required this needs to be paid at each appointment, by cash or cheque.

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 over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
