Travel Clinic Appointments
If after completing your research on the vaccines you require for travelling abroad you require a Hepatitis A, Typhoid or Tetanus vaccination please telephone the surgery and speak to one of our receptionists. They will take a few details from you and our administration team will telephone you back to discuss the next steps. A travel questionnaire will be forwarded to you to complete, once this is completed and returned an appointment with the travel nurse will be booked.
We strongly advise that you provide three months notice when booking a travel vaccination appointment. If insufficient time is given we may not be able to vaccinate you prior to you holiday.
