Travel Vaccinationsglobal air travel

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to complete a travel questionnaire, this will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required (see below for downloadable version). Once this is completed and returned to surgery you can make an appointment with the practice nurse . 

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

Europe Europe & Russia North America North America
Central America Central America South America South America
Caribbean Caribbean Africa Africa
Middle East Middle East Central Asia Central Asia
East Asia East Asia Australasia Australasia and Pacific

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel. Vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. If your required vaccine is not in stock then you need to arrange a second appointment which  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.

If the Practice Nurse is unavailable for whatever reason the above service can not be guarenteed. In such an instance you should contact the local travel clinic for advice. The local travel service is not a free service.
