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 six weeks before you travel. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.
Make sure before you Travel
Make initial appointment at least 6 weeks before you travel – Vaccines may need to be ordered in
Attend second appointment at least 2 weeks before you travel – allow time for the vaccines to work
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible – at least 6 weeks before you travel – as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs 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.

Some services provided fall outside the scope of the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:
