Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements.  She will discuss the countries and areas within countries which you are visiting in order to determine which vaccinations are required. 

Information about countries and vaccinations required can be found on the links below:

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Carribean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

It is important to make the initial appointment as early as possible  - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as follow-up appointments may be required for completion of a vaccination course. Some vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock item. Your follow-up appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to take effect.

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.

For any illness lasting longer than seven days you will need to see the doctor for him/her to issue a sickness certificate and for any subsequent renewal of the certificate. If your employer insists on a sickness certificate for 7 days or fewer a charge will be levied.
