How to book travel vaccinations
Once you have checked which travel vaccinations are recommended for your destination, please contact the surgery. We will send you a Travel Risk Assessment to complete via our Accurx text messaging service.
To help us process your request as quickly as possible, please complete and return the assessment promptly. Our nursing team will review the information provided to ensure that any vaccinations requested are clinically appropriate and safe for you.
Please note:
- Travel vaccination appointments cannot be booked until the completed risk assessment has been reviewed and approved by our nursing team.
- This process helps us ensure that any vaccinations given are safe and suitable for your individual circumstances.
- Once your assessment has been reviewed and approved by our nursing team, you will be invited to book an appointment for your vaccination(s).
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Planning ahead
Please allow at least 6 weeks’ notice before travel. This allows time for:
