The practice is able to offer a limited number of vaccinations for travel purposes, i.e. those which are available on NHS prescription. These are:
- polio (given as a combined diphtheria/tetanus/polio jab)
- typhoid
- hepatitis A
- cholera
We don’t routinely provide, for travel purposes, those vaccines which are not available on the NHS (such as hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, rabies, tick-bourne encephalitis). Drugs to prevent malaria are also not available on the NHS. There are now numerous external providers through which you can acquire non-NHS travel vaccines and antimalarials.
Yellow fever is an exception; we sometimes have yellow fever vaccine available and are currently an accredited yellow fever vaccination centre. If you require a yellow fever vaccine (and the accompanying certificate) please contact reception to enquire about availability and fees. Patients who are not registered at the surgery can also avail of this service.
Before contacting the surgery, please access the following websites to check that what you require is available from us, according to the information above. These are recommended on the NHS travel vaccine page:
