Travel Vaccinations

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment for the Travel clinic currently offered at Churchside Medical Practice and organised by the Pharmacy team to discuss your travel arrangements. You will need to collect a form from the surgery or download the form below to complete and return prior to attending the appointment booked.  This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below.

Europe & Russia North America
Central America South America
Caribbean Africa
Middle EastCentral Asia
 East AsiaAustralasia and Pacific

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible – at least 6 weeks before you travel – as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
