Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to complete and return the travel risk assessment form (link below) for the practice nurses prior to making an appointment.  

Travel Risk Assessment Form

This includes which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Caribbean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

It is important to return the form to us as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as several appointments may be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine.  Vaccination appointments need 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.
