Where do I get my travel vaccines?

Phone or visit the Surgery or Travel Vaccination Centre to find out whether your existing UK vaccinations are up-to-date.

The Practice Nurse, Travel Vaccination Centre may be able to give you general advice about travel vaccinations and travel health, such as protecting yourself from malaria.

The surgery can only give you any missing doses of your UK vaccines if you need them.

Not all travel vaccinations are available free on the NHS, even if they're recommended for travel to a certain area

If you're planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.

Vaccinations are available to protect you against infections such as yellow fevertyphoid and hepatitis A.

In the UK, the NHS routine immunisation (vaccination) schedule protects you against a number of diseases, but does not cover all of the infectious diseases found overseas.
