Travel Vaccinations
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.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below:
Prior to an appointment you must also access the website:
www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/home
On this website you need to access each country you are intending to visit and understand what recommendations are being made. During your appointment with the nurse, you will revisit this information and you are able to ask questions and confirm which vaccinations you require.
Without researching this information via this website before your appointment, it is likely you will run out of time which of course we want to avoid for you.
If after reading the information on the website you have decided you do not require any vaccinations, then no further action is necessary.
Please complete the attached Travel Health Questionnaire (one for each person travelling) and once completed bring to the Practice and book your appointment. We are unable to book an appointment without a form being received at the same time.
To enable the best possible time frame to offer advice and receive your full vaccination course, we would recommend you allow 6 weeks between your appointment to your departure date.
Many of the travel immunisations are not NHS funded and costs are enclosed in the attached literature.
