Travel Vaccinations 

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

We ask for a £10 per person/per appointment admin fee when booking travel vaccinations. This is non refundable and exclusive to any additional payments for Travel vaccines. This can be paid in cash or by BACS payment, Please contact the surgery for details.

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.

If you are unable to book an appointment with the Nurse then visit Masta Travel for alternative clinics available.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required via the Fit For Travel website

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 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.
