Stay safe and healthy abroad

If you are travelling abroad you may need to be vaccinated. Please visit the surgery and fill out a Travel Form, this will then be given to the surgery Nurse who will then contact you to arrange any appointments needed or give you the information you need.

It is important to make this initial appointment at least eight weeks before you travel so that the vaccines can be ordered. You will need a second appointment to receive the vaccinations.  Your second appointment should be at least two weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription which cost more than the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
