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.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below
It is important to make this initial appt as early as possible to ensure availability of a practice nurse. It is recommended to arrange this at least 6 weeks before travel as we may need to give you a course of vaccinations over 1 month. If there is no nurse availability you may be advised to go to a private travel clinic.
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.
