Travel vaccinations

The NHS can provide the following vaccinations for travel:

  • Polio (given as combination with Diphtheria, Tetanus & Polio)
  • Typhoid
  • Hepatitis A
  • Cholera

Please note that the surgery does not run a travel clinic. You will therefore need to confirm which vaccinations you require prior to arranging an appointment with us. The following website provides information regarding vaccines and where you can find your local travel clinic:

MASTA Travel Health | For All Your Vaccination advice

We can print out a copy of your vaccinations record to take with you should you decide to book an appointment with a travel clinic, please phone or email the surgery to request this.

Please allow 2 weeks for us to ensure we have stock of your required vaccination(s) and we recommend that vaccines are administered at least two weeks prior to travel.

RSV

Everyone turning 75 years old on or after the 1st September 2024 will be offered a single dose of RSV vaccine. This is because older adults are more at risk of serious complications from RSV. You can still get the vaccine up to the day before you turn 80. For more information you can visit the following website.
