TRAVEL ADVICE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION - THE PRACTICE OFFERS NHS TRAVEL VACCINATIONS AND YELLOW FEVER ONLY. WE DO NOT OFFER ANY PRIVATE TRAVEL VACCINATIONS DUE TO DIFFICULTIES OBTAINING VACCINES.
We are currently experiencing a very high demand for appointments and therefore may not be able to offer travel vaccinations in the required time frame, especially for family groups and complicated itineraries. If you are planning to travel abroad, please try to book your initial travel appointment with the nurse at least 3 months before you travel. If you have not allowed 3 months before your travel date, the Practice may not be able to offer you an appointment or full course of vaccinations.
Most adults will have received routine adult immunisations. However, certain foreign travel exposes the traveller to different risks. The precise recommendations for travel vaccines vary from time to time and country to country.
The current recommended website for travel immunisation and malarial advice is the Nathnac website. This website has extensive country specific travel immunisation and malarial advice. Please visit this website to find specific information regarding individual vaccines.
Our travel questionnaire is available either from reception or to download above.
When you attend for your appointment our practice nurse will advise you of the vaccines required and administer them accordingly. If a course of vaccines is required a further appointment will be booked.
Not all travel immunisations are available on the NHS. Therefore, depending on where you are travelling to, you may be required to pay for them in some instances. The Reception Staff can advise you on this. Please see our current Travel Vaccinations Pricelist.
