Stay safe and healthy abroad
If you are travelling abroad you may need to be vaccinated. Please make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss the vaccinations you will need, which will depend on where you are travelling.
It is important to make this initial appointment at least eight weeks before you travel so that the vaccines can be ordered. You will need a second appointment to receive the vaccinations. Your second appointment should be at least two weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription which cost more than the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
Please note that last minute travel cannot be treated as an emergency. Vaccinations for last minute travellers will only be provided at the discretion of the health professionals at the practice. This will be dependent on availability of appointments and stock of relevant vaccines. We always try our best to accommodate last minute travellers to avoid any disappointment.
