Travel Vaccinations
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.
Our Travel Clinic was run by our practice nurse Sharon Williams every Thursday from 09:00 till 13:00.
At present we are not offering this service. We advise our patients to get in contact with their
nearest travel clinics and pharmacies.
Please do not book any Travel Vaccination appointment with GP's.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below
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.
If you are unable to arrange an appointment in the surgery please note there are some Pharmacies and other Travel Vaccination clinics in the local area.
