Travel health advice and vaccinations
The Health Centre no longer provides all Travel Vaccinations, as we have done previously. This is because not all travel vaccinations are available free on the NHS, even if they're recommended for travel to a certain area. The Vaccines we provide are:
- polio (given as a combined diphtheria/tetanus/polio jab)
- typhoid
- hepatitis A
- cholera
If you require travel health advice this is available at specialist travel clinics and online. See Further Travel Information below:
It is important that you start planning your travel health needs as soon as you have made your travel plans, but at least 6-8 weeks before departure. This is because you may need to book an appointment at a private travel clinic, and vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course that can take several weeks to provide full protection.
You can start your travel health planning by reading about the region you are travelling using the list below:
