It's important to find out which travel vaccinations you need early on:

· Travel vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine

· In some cases you may need a course of vaccinations with gaps between

· There needs to be enough time allowed for the vaccines to work.

Information about vaccines needed for your destination can be found at www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk

Please note: You need to give at least 8 weeks notice for vaccinations at the surgery. 

Providing travel vaccinations is not an NHS service. If you give less than 6 weeks notice, we might not be able to provide your travel vaccinations - you may need to visit a Private Clinic. 

To arrange travel vaccinations please follow these steps;

1. Fill in a pre-travel questionnaire and hand this to Reception. The questionnaire is available from the surgery, or can be downloaded from the 'Our Documents' page on this website.

 We need a questionnaire for each person in the family who is making the trip. You can email your form to fownhope.medicalcentre@nhs.net. 

 After you submit the questionnaire we will contact you within  1 week in order to discuss which vaccinations you're advised to have and any cost attached.

2. If you need to pay for any travel vaccinations you will need to do this in advance.
