Travelling abroad increases your risk of infection. You should protect yourself with the recommended vaccinations. To see what vaccinations are recommended for your trip, please visit www.nathnac.org/travel.
If you need travel vaccinations, you must complete this form AT LEAST 6 weeks before you travel. It must be returned to the surgery where a travel Nurse will assess the information given. This can take up to 7 days. You may book an initial travel telephone call (for at least 7 days time) once your form has been handed to the reception team.
Do not wait until just before you leave to get your travel vaccinations. If your date of travel is less than 6 weeks away, it is preferable that you contact a local travel clinic for vaccinations to ensure you can be seen.
You will be better protected if vaccinations are spaced correctly. For Africa, India or South America, allow at least two months to complete the course of vaccinations.
Some travel vaccinations and malaria tablets must be paid for by you. These are payable in advance via the reception team after your initial travel consultation with the nurse.
