Travel vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please complete our online travel form.

You can use this service if you:

  • are registered at the surgery
  • would like to book an appointment with the practice nurse

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 8 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.

The following vaccinations are provided free on the NHS:

  • cholera
  • hepatitis A
  • paratyphoid
  • poliomyelitis
  • smallpox
  • typhoid

A private travel clinic will be able to help you with any other vaccine not listed above. We cannot provide them here at the surgery.

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.
