We provide a full range of travel vaccinations (excluding Yellow Fever). When visiting some countries, malaria prophylaxis may be necessary; this will be discussed during your appointment. Please note that whilst some malaria medication can be purchased directly from the chemist, others require a private prescription and cannot be obtained on the NHS.
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible, at least six weeks before you travel, as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least two weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
