If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to complete a Travel Vaccination Form and return it to us at the Health Centre. Our nurse will contact you after you have completed this to discuss recommendations. This form can be downloaded here. (Travel Vaccination Form). This will include 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:
| Africa | Asia (Central) |
| Asia (East) | Australasia & Pacific |
| Caribbean | Central America |
| Europe & Russia | Middle East |
| North America | South America |
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.
Most travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because travel vaccination is not included in the services provided by the NHS and therefore is a chargeable service.
