Getting ready to travel abroad involves more than just making sure you are up to date with your "Vaccinations".

As the practice nurse will only have time to advise on the vaccinations you need and administer these we have made a list of useful websites for you to access. You will be able to obtain more information on current diseases for which there may be no vaccine. You will also be able to find out current government advice on travelling in certain areas of the world. These websites also give you useful and up to date links to even more information.

Some vaccinations take up to 2 weeks to work. Malaria prophylaxis usually needs to be started 2 weeks before you depart and some vaccinations involve a whole course which may take up to 6 months to complete. In order to get yourself fully protected from vaccine preventable diseases we would recommend that you make an appointment with the nurse at least 8 weeks before your intended travel.

PRE-TRAVEL QUESTIONNAIRE

If you are travelling abroad and need an appointment with our nurse, please ensure that you have completed and returned to the surgery our Pre-Travel Questionnaire before your appointment. The nurse can then look at your medical records before you come in to the surgery to ascertain what vaccinations you have had and what you need to travel.

You can either download the form by clicking on the link below or pick one up from the surgery:
