Travel health

Stay safe and healthy abroad

If you are travelling abroad you may need to be vaccinated. Please make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss the vaccinations you will need, which will depend on where you are travelling.

Our Clinicians are experienced in advising on vaccination and malaria requirements for all foreign travel. Please plan to see the nurse well in advance (at least eight weeks) as some schedules will take a number of weeks to complete.

The only vaccination courses we provide are NHS funded, these include:

  • Hepatitis A
  • Typhoid
  • Diptheria, Tetanus, and Polio (combined vaccine)

Any other vaccinations would need to be administered by a private travel clinic.
