Information and advice for travelling abroad

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please complete our online travel form.

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 to 8 weeks before you travel - as 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. This appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

The nurse will contact you to book you in for this appointment once they have reviewed your form.

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.

The following travel vaccines are free on the NHS:

  • Tetanus (given as combined diphtheria/tetanus/polio)
  • Polio (given as combined diphtheria/tetanus/polio)
  • Typhoid
  • Hepatitis A
  • Cholera

Vaccines not available on the NHS:

  • Hepatitis B
  • Japanese encephalitis
  • Meningitis vaccines
  • Tick-born encephalitis
  • Tuberculosis
  • Yellow fever
  • Malaria tablets
