Travel and Employment Vaccination
Our surgery provides a travel vaccinations service, which includes a detailed assessment of which vaccinations are required. If you are travelling abroad, please make sure you contact us in plenty of time to arrange any vaccinations that may be necessary. To help the travel nurses assess your travel needs it is important that they are in receipt of the Travel Risk Assessment form before your appointment.
We may need up to 8 weeks notice of your travelling arrangements so that we have time to order any special vaccines and so that you can receive a full course of any multiple vaccinations that may be required, so please give us as much notice as possible.
It would be useful if you could take a look at the Travel Health website before your appointment. This website gives information about the latest travel alerts and you can also access the vaccination advice for the country you are travelling to. This will enable you to make informed decisions during the consultation. Please be aware that some vaccinations require a series of injections at intervals prior to travel.
If you require urgent advice/vaccination, we will do our best to offer you an appointment, but if this is not possible please see the Masta website to find a local clinic.
We offer advice and vaccinations. Most vaccines are held in stock; however, some have to be ordered. Please note that we do have to charge for vaccines which are not available on the NHS.
