The following travel vaccinations are usually available free on the NHS:
- diphtheria, polio and tetanus (combined booster)
- typhoid
- hepatitis A (incl when combined with typhoid)
- cholera
These vaccines are usually free because they protect against diseases thought to represent the greatest risk to public health if they were brought into the country.
We provide a full travel service, unless you are travelling within 8 weeks. Please call into the surgery and ask for a travel form. You will be given a personalised form which will show the previous immunisations that you have had. Patient will check as per information on the form and if necessary return travel form to Practice if they have assessed they need vaccinations. You will then be booked a 20 minute Nurse appointment.
We do not offer yellow fever vaccinations.
