Travel Vaccinations

Travel Vaccinations

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 weeks before you travel - this is due to the demand on our NHS service and the need to prioritise the services we can offer at shorter notice.

We recommend if patients are travelling in less than 6 weeks that you contact a local travel clinic for your vaccinations.

Advice and vaccination are given by the Practice Nurse. Please do not ask any of the Care Navigators for advice regarding travel vaccines, as they are not medically trained. If you have any queries, you must make a 20-minute appointment with the Practice Nurse. You will be asked to complete a travel questionnaire prior to the appointment, so that the Practice Nurse can check what vaccines you may require. 

See our Prescribing Policy for Patients travelling/ living abroad
