Travel Vaccinations and advice

If you're planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.

Our practice nurses are available by appointment to offer medical advice regarding travel and vaccinations where appropriate. 

Travel Risk Assessment

If you are travelling abroad please complete our Travel Risk Assessment Form in plenty of time (We recommend 6-8 weeks) before your journey.

Find our more about Travel Vaccinations on nhs.uk.

Anti-malarias are not available on the NHS. You can buy Chloroquine and Paludrine cheaply direct from your pharmacy. Mefloquine requires a private prescription from your GP. 

Remember to continue anti malarials for 4 weeks after your return to the UK.   Please book for travel advice/vaccinations through your receptionist  

You can find out which vaccinations are necessary or recommended for the areas you'll be visiting on these websites:

• Travel Health Pro
• NHS fit for Travel

Some countries require proof of vaccination (for example, for polio or yellow fever vaccination), which must be documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) before you enter or when you leave a country.
