Vaccinations (Incl for Travel)
NHS Vaccination Schedule
NHS vaccinations and when to have them – NHS (www.nhs.uk)
Travel Vaccines
Before you travel it’s important to find out whether you will need additional vaccinations for the country you’re visiting.
Ideally we would like you to arrange your travel appointment with the Practice 6 weeks before you intend to travel. This is to ensure that there is sufficient time to allow for a primary and booster vaccination if required as some vaccinations are not effective immediately or require a series of injections.

Consultation
If you do require vaccinations for your chosen destination, please book an appointment with a Nurse to discuss your upcoming trip and to confirm which vaccinations you need.
Please let the Patient Services Coordinator know your consultation is for the travel clinic so they can book you with an appropriate member of staff.
Once again we kindly ask you allow as much time as possible before your trip to have this consultation so we can put a vaccination plan in place and to ensure we have the required vaccinations in stock.
Fees
Unlike community pharmacies or private clinics we are able to offer routine travel vaccinations free of charge through the NHS in addition to our free Travel Clinic consultation with our Practice Nurses.
These include:
- Hep A
- Typhoid
- Diphtheria / Tetanus / Polio combined
Other vaccinations are not covered by the NHS and, as private treatments, they incur a cost. These include Yellow Fever, Hep B, Rabies, Meningitis ACWY and Malaria. We do not keep stock of all vaccinations and they may need to be ordered in.
Please be advised that payment for the full course of vaccinations is required at your first appointment with the Nurse.

Note 1 – A 3rd dose is available as a Booster to provide longer term immunisation. This is normally given 5-12 months after the 2nd vaccination.
Note 2 – The normal Rabies vaccination is not internationally available. Travel clinics are able to offer an alternative “off-label” Rabies vaccination, but the fee for this is higher than the previous vaccine.
Note 3 – Malarone has to be taken every day in order to protect you from malaria. Treatment consists of one tablet taken once a day. You need to begin taking Malarone tablets 2 days before you travel to a risk area. You also need to continue treatment for 7 days after you have returned to a malaria-free area. So for a 7 day trip 16 tablets are required (2+7+7)
Note 4 – Where a private prescription is requested to purchase travel vaccinations elsewhere then a charge of £15 is payable
