Travel health advice and vaccinations

Travel health advice and travel immunisations are no longer provided by the practice. This is because following the COVID-19 pandemic all our staff are focussing their time and efforts on acute and chronic disease management, and catching up on other essential aspects of health care. 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:

Africa

Central Asia

East Asia

Australasia & Pacific

Caribbean

Central America

Europe & Russia

Middle East

North America

South America & Antarctica
