Travel Vaccinations

 

Information and advice for travelling abroad

Travel Vaccinations

Our nurses can provide travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations.

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 - at least 6 to 8 weeks before you travel - Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks.

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.

See our Non-NHS Services page for details and prices
