Due to changes with the new state backed indemnity service, which covers NHS Staff, we are no longer able to administer some travel vaccinations. 

It is important to make an initial appointment with either nurse Jeanette or Bosy, as early as possible before you travel. They will advise which vaccinations you will need and give other helpful travel advice. You will need to complete a travel questionnaire and bring to your appointment.

Some vaccines are available free on the NHS and can be given at the time of the initial appointment. These vaccinations include:

• polio (given as a combined diphtheria/tetanus/polio jab)
• typhoid
• hepatitis A
• cholera

A second follow up appointment may be necessary for booster vaccinations.

Some travel vaccines are not covered under the NHS, and therefore can not be given at the surgery. These include:

• hepatitis B
• Japanese encephalitis
• meningitis vaccines 
• rabies
• tick-borne encephalitis
• tuberculosis (TB)
• Yellow fever

Some pharmacies or travel clinics can provide these vaccinations. 

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

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.
