Information and advice for travelling abroad

Travel vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please complete our online travel form.

Our Nurses can provide comprehensive travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations. It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible, 

  • at least 6 to 8 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.

Private travel vaccinations

Travel advice is covered by the NHS; however, some vaccinations and prescriptions are only available privately. Payment for non-NHS services must be made at the first travel appointment.

See our Non NHS Services page for details
