If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel please collect and complete a travel questionnaire available at reception, the Practice Nurse will then advise on vaccinations you require, once this has been completed a follow up appointment can be arranged with the Practice Nurse for you to receive any vaccinations required.
This will include which countries and areas within countries that 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 over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
