Information and advice for travelling abroad

Travel vaccinations

Travel immunisations are available to registered patients only.

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please call into the surgery and collect a travel form for completion or complete our online travel form.

After receiving your travel form, our Practice Nurse will contact you to advise on immunisations required and timing.

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 8 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.
