If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to complete a travel form, which you can collect from either surgery or print one off using the link below. Once completed bring back to the surgery who will then give it to the practice nurse to determine what vaccinations are required. 

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America & Antarctica
Caribbean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

It is important to complete the forms as early as possible  – at least 6 weeks before you travel – an 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.  Should you need any vaccinations your appointment needs to be at least 2 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.
