Travel Vaccinations
We are currently only able to provide NHS travel vaccines. We do not provide travel advice and non NHS vaccinations as we do not have staff trained in this area of expertise. Training of new nursing team is on-going and once they a have completed the training and are competent in this area we will resume the service.
Please make sure that you seek advice about your travel vaccines at least 3 to 4 months before you are due to travel as you may need several doses at weekly or monthly intervals to complete a vaccination course and ensure that you are full covered before you go.
Travel advice and vaccine provision can be obtained from a specialist Travel Clinics please see the following websites for more information:
