At Prince of Wales Surgery, we provide NHS-funded travel vaccinations and advice for patients travelling abroad.

 

Booking Your Travel Appointment

  • It’s important to book your travel health appointment as early as possible, ideally at least six weeks before your trip, to allow enough time for any necessary follow-up doses.

  • Some vaccinations require more than one dose, so early planning helps ensure you are fully protected before you travel.

 

NHS Travel Vaccinations

  • We can provide vaccinations that are funded under the NHS.

  • Please ask at the surgery for details about which vaccines are available for your travel needs.

 

Additional Vaccinations and Advice

  • For vaccines not covered by the NHS or for detailed advice about travel destinations, we recommend attending a specialist travel clinic.

  • Travel clinics can provide guidance on:

    • Recommended vaccines for your destination

    • Malaria prevention and other travel-related health risks

    • Advice for children, pregnant travellers, or those with chronic health conditions

 

For up-to-date information on travel vaccinations and health advice for your destination, please visit the NHS Fit for Travel website: https://www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk

 

Travelling abroad can expose you to infections not common in the UK. Getting the right vaccinations and advice ensures your journey is safe and healthy.
