Do you need vaccinations?

If you require vaccinations relating to foreign travel you will need to complete the assessment form below at least 4 weeks prior to your travels. Once received reception staff will offer you an appointment with a Practice Nurse.

The form is checked by a Practice Nurse for the relevant vaccinations required for your travel itinerary before your appointment. The vaccines are then ordered as we do not keep them in stock. We require a minimum of 4 weeks prior to your travel for vaccinations to be completed so that you have full protection.

If your travel plans are last minute, or you require vaccinations such Yellow Fever, Rabies or Hepatitis B, we will advise you to attend a Travel Clinic and they will advise you of what you need.
