Travel Vaccinations
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel
Please complete the travel questionnaire attached below. This will be forwarded to your usual GP/practice nurse who will check to see if any vaccines are required. They will call you back with this information this may take up to 7-10 days depending on clinical workload.
One questionnaire to be completed for each patient registered who is travelling
It is important to make this initial contact as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as an appointment will be required with the practice nurse to administer the vaccinations. These vaccines may have to be ordered by your pharmacy as they are not a stock vaccine held in practice. Your 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. There will be a fee of £10.00 charged for the administration of each vaccine not available on the NHS.
At present we are not providing private vaccinations that are not available on the NHS and we request that you visit a travel clinic for these.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below
