Information for patients planning on travelling
We strongly advise you check your vaccine and malaria protection requirements using either of the links below at least 4-8 weeks prior to travel. Sometimes a course of up to 3 vaccinations is required, which may take several weeks to complete.
It is your responsibility to check which vaccines/and/or malaria tablets you require and also familiarise yourself with other recommended safe travel precautions.
There is more information available for travellers at www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/home or www.travelhealthpro.org.uk.
Private vaccines
Additional vaccines may be required for more extensive travel/back packing/unusual destinations/ longer stays longer than 4 weeks or special situations such as working in health care projects or with animals. These are classed as private vaccines and there will be a charge for them.
You need to contact a travel clinic or pharmacy with a pharmacist trained to give travel vaccinations to arrange these vaccines and malaria prophylaxis medication as we do not provide them at the practice.
