**TRAVEL VACCINATIONS *** Important Update***

Posted by: abbiesutliff - Posted on:

Unfortunately we have made the difficult decision that with effect from 1st November we will no longer be offering a PRIVATE Travel Vaccination Service.

Any existing appointments booked prior to this date will be honoured but no further appointments for private travel vaccinations will be made.

We will continue to offer the free NHS vaccinations but any patients wishing to travel will need to seek advice and guidance regarding their required immunisations from an alternative provider of this service.

Patient information regarding their existing vaccination history is available via the NHS App or a summary printout/email can be provided by making an admin request via our website.

Having had an independant assessment should you be advised that you require any of the free NHS travel vaccinations; cholera, hepatitis A, typhoid or diphtheria, polio, tetanus (administered as a combined vaccine) then please do book a Nurse appointment with reception.

Unfortunately the increasing complexity of patients travel plans combined with reduced reimbursement due to competition from other local providers means that it is no longer viable for us to provide this non-NHS service. Our priority must be the provision of core NHS services for the patients most in need.
