A twenty minute appointment will be made for you with the Practice Nurse, plus a further 10 minutes for any other members of the family requiring immunisations. We no longer have weekly travel appointments but will endeavour to schedule your appointment as soon as we can. It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible – at least 6 weeks before you travel – as a second appointment may be required with the practice nurse for booster vaccinations. Your second appointment if required needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are not available on the NHS we will not be able to offer those for you. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
