Travel Vaccinations - Please Read Carefully

Please allow 6–8 weeks before you travel to organise your vaccinations.

1. Complete an eConsult – you’ll receive a pre-travel questionnaire.

2. Once the questionnaire is returned, it may take up to 7–10 working days for us to respond and offer an appointment.

We cannot guarantee appointment availability before your travel date. If we’re unable to see you in time, you may need to contact a private travel clinic.

Free Travel Vaccines Available on the NHS:

• Diphtheria, Tetanus & Polio (combined)

• Hepatitis A

• Typhoid

• Cholera

For other travel vaccines not listed above, a private clinic may be required.
