Travel Vaccinations
As you will be aware GP surgeries are working under increasing pressures and are having to prioritise the services they can provide. We have offered a full travel service free of charge until recently, but as the surgery receives no funding for this and it is very time consuming, we are sadly no longer able to continue this. The NHS has a very comprehensive website giving information you need to identify any vaccines advised for trips abroad, and ensure that you stay as healthy as possible. This can be found at www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk The following vaccinations are commonly required for many holiday destinations and are free of charge on the NHS:
• Diphtheria, tetanus and polio (combined)
• Hepatitis A
• Typhoid
You can find information on how to receive any immunisations that you require by following this link www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk or reading this Advice for Travellers document
