Immunisation and Vaccination Services
We carry a stock of routine travel vaccinations including Typhoid, Hepatitis A and B, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio, Rabies and Yellow Fever. If you are going to travel abroad we recommend that you arrange to see the doctor well in advance of travelling, who will advise what vaccinations may be required, taking into account any travel vaccinations you may have received for previous trips. A minimum of 4- 6 weeks prior to travel is suggested but some vaccines require 3 injections to complete (e.g hepatitis B) and will need to be started well in advance to ensure an adequate response.
Your doctor will also advise you about malaria prophylaxis and other medication that may be required depending on your destination.
An excellent public access website gives travel health information for people travelling abroad. Check out www.fittotravel.nhs.uk
