Violet Lane Medical Practice
Travel Clinic
Travel Vaccinations
If you wish to make an appointment for travel vaccines you must book your appointment 6 weeks before you travel. Travel vaccines are only given by the nurse, please do not ask your GP.
Complete Travel Questionnaire
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please complete our online travel form.
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.
Nurse Review
Our nurses will then review your form and advise our administrative team which vaccinations are required.
Contact the surgery after 3 days
Patient's are advised to contact the surgery after 3 days of initial form submission to find out if any vaccinations are required - at which point they can book an appointment to have these done.
All children should be up to date with their immunisations before they have any travel vaccines.
