Travel Advice

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to contact reception who will ask the practice nurse to confirm your travel requirements. You will need to inform us which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required. There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

Europe & Russia North America
Central America South America
Carribean Africa
Middle East Central Asia
East Asia Australasia and Pacific

 It is important to contact us as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as an appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. Some vaccines have to be ordered if they are not a stock vaccine. Your 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 which incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge.
