Travel Vaccinations
How We Can Help You
Please contact us as far in advance of travel as possible as some vaccines need to be given over a period of several months. All vaccines need at least two weeks to get into your system so should be obtained at least two weeks prior to travel.
The practice nurse will advise which vaccines are required for the countries you are visiting.
Please download and complete the Travel Risk Assessment Form and bring it with you to your appointment.
Further information is available at Fit for Travel or from the Department of Health Advice for Travellers website, or on the following downloadable documents.
