Travel vaccinations
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please complete our online travel form.
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible as appointments are limited - at least 6 weeks before you travel - this allows the nurse to assess all that is required for your destination and offer you an appointment with plenty of time prior to your departure.
Once the Nurse has received your completed Travel Form, they will contact you and arrange a suitable appointment to see you. In this time they will undertake a risk assessment regarding your Travel plans, your general health and give advice on NHS travel vaccines required, which are then administered at the appointment.
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.
Vaccines such as: Hepatitis B, Meningitis ACWY, Rabies, Yellow fever and Japanese B or Tick-borne encephalitis are not covered by the NHS and will need to be administered via a Private Vaccine service elsewhere. This also applies to malaria prophylaxis.
