Travel Advice

The surgery has resumed travel vaccination appointments with our nursing team.

Time Scale

Please allow yourself plenty of time to obtain your travel requirements, as vaccinations can take a couple of weeks to take effect. We need at least 6 weeks’ notice prior to travel to ensure a suitable appointment is agreed

Charges

The surgery supplies certain travel vaccinations free on the NHS, these include Typhoid, Hepatitis A, and Diphtheria / Tetanus / Polio. We also supply Yellow Fever at a cost (please ask about current prices and instructions for this). Any payment can be made by card or cash. Other vaccinations that may be required for travel would have to be provided privately. Please look online for details of local travel clinics to obtain these.

Procedure of Travel Services

1. Complete the travel form Travel Form (one for each member of the party who are travelling)

2. Return your completed form to the surgery, where it will be passed to one of our Practice Nurses to check your requirements against your medical records.

3. Contact the surgery a week later, and we will confirm if you need to make an appointment at Longrove Surgery for vaccination or advice from our Practice Nurse, or if you need to attend a Travel Clinic elsewhere.
