Travelling abroad? Have you checked whether you require travel vaccinations?
It is important you allow as much time as possible, at least 8 weeks, to receive your travel vaccinations. Some vaccinations require being given over a period of time. Please note not all vaccinations are free and are not part of the NHS, these will need a private prescription which will incur a charge.
If your planned travel is sooner than 8 weeks you will need to seek advice via a private travel clinic as regrettably the NHS travel vaccination service is not able to provide last minute travel advice.
From 1st September 2023, please contact reception to arrange an appointment with the Practice Nurse at least 8 weeks before travel. You will be sent an online questionnaire to complete – if your travel destination(s) require further risk assessment we will book you in for a 20 minute appointment with the Practice Nurse. Please ensure that we have the correct mobile phone number or email address to send you the online questionnaire.
Don’t worry if you do not have the facilities to complete the online questionnaire, we will provide you with a hard copy of the form that you must bring to your appointment.
