Travel Health

Do you need vaccinations?

Our nurses can provide travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations. Please arrange an appointment for a travel consultation at least 6-8 weeks before departure if possible. Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks.

Travel Assessment

If you are travelling abroad please contact the surgery in plenty of time (we recommend 6-8 weeks) before your journey.

Travel Vaccine information

We don't provide a full, private travel health service. We only provide those vaccines that are funded by the NHS - Typhoid, Tetanus and hepatitis A and any other routine vaccinations that have not been given.

For other travel vaccinations patients need to source this from travel health clinics. There is a full travel clinic at AXIS BMC in Evegate, and some pharmacies offer the service too.”
