Travel: Vaccination Information

If you are travelling you may require vaccinations. You can get travel information at the NHS travel site (click the link below). We request that you download and complete the travel form and return to reception.

Prior to travelling, patients should allow as much time as possible to arrange travel vaccines. For information on travel vaccinations and advice Patients should contact a local Pharmacy or Travel Clinic who offer this service. We are happy to provide you with an Immunisation Summary.

After you attend a Travel Clinic, you will be given a proforma detailing which vaccines you require. You should hand this into the Practice if any NHS Vaccines are required.

Please plan accordingly to ensure you are protected during your travels.

Please note: We cannot order or administer NHS travel vaccines without travel clinic paperwork.

Only the undernoted vaccines are available on NHS Prescriptions:

  • Hepatitis A
  • Typhoid
  • Diphtheria
  • Tetanus
  • Polio

Any other vaccinations patients may require, can be provided via the Pharmacy/Travel Clinic on a Private Basis.

Hepatitis immunisation

Immunisation against infectious Hepatitis (Hepatitis A) is available free of charge on the NHS in connection with travel abroad. However Hepatitis B is not routinely available free of charge and therefore you may be charged for this vaccination when requested in connection with travel abroad.

Non NHS Services are not funded by the NHS

Whilst we will always attempt to assist you with the completion of these requests, GPs do not have to carry out non-NHS work on behalf of their patients, and these services are NOT funded by the NHS. As with most GP Practices, a fee will therefore be charged to cover the costs.
