If you are planning to travel abroad and think that you may need vaccinations please see one of our practice nurses in plenty of time to make sure that there is enough time to complete the course of vaccinations.
For further details about the vaccinations you may require when travelling abroad, visit www.doh.gov.uk/traveladvice.

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.
