Travel Advice & Vaccinations

The surgery no longer provides travel advice to patients given the complexities and risks associated with foreign travel.

Advice regarding vaccinations should be sourced privately by contacting one of the clinics below (please note you are likely to be charged for this service). 

They will be able to review your itinerary and provide information on the vaccinations required.

A number of travel vaccinations are available free of charge under the NHS, this includes:

Diphtheria

Hepatitis A

Polio

Tetanus

Typhoid

 

Should the clinic recommend any of the above vaccinations, upon receipt of their advice note; we will issue prescriptions and make arrangements for them to be administered by our Practice Nurse.

Unfortunately we will not prescribe any of the above vaccinations without written paperwork of them be required.
