Travel Information
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required. There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below
| Europe & Russia | North America | Central America | South America | Carribean |
| Africa | Middle East | Central Asia | East Asia | Australasia & Pacific |
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible – at least 6 weeks before you travel – as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
Please complete the following form with your travel information and return it to the surgery 6-8 weeks prior to travel.
Please note: Our Thurrock practice offers a private travel clinic which is available to non-registered patients. In Medway, we offer yellow fever vaccinations to non-registered patients, but all other travel services are only available to registered patients.
Further disease information is available from your travel clinic or on the National Health Travel Network & Centre (NATHNAC) on 0845 602 6712 9am – 12 noon & 2pm – 4.30pm weekdays.
