Travel Vaccines

If you're planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.

Vaccines against Typhoid, Hepatitis A, and Polio (given as combined Polio, Diphtheria/Polio/Tetanus) are provided free by the NHS.

Others are chargeable, and often need to be ordered in advance. Some need to be given well ahead of your travel date to allow your body to develop immunity, and some vaccines involve a number of doses spread over several weeks or even months.

So it's important to talk to our Nursing team about the vaccinations you may need at least 10 weeks before you're due to travel, who will advise of any charges are applicable (depending on the vaccines required) and  arrange vaccination appointments for you. 

At the start of this process we will take a deposit of £20, refundable if no vaccinations are needed or no additional charges required.

You will be asked to pay the balance of any charges applicable when you come to the surgery for your vaccination appointment.

For information, you can be more at risk of some diseases if for example,you are:

  • travelling in rural areas
  • backpacking
  • staying in hostels or camping
  • on a long trip rather than a package holiday

You can also find out which vaccinations are necessary or recommended for the areas you'll be visiting on these websites:

  • Travel Health Pro
  • NHS Fit for Travel

Some countries require proof of vaccination (for example, for polio or yellow fever vaccination), which must be documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) before you enter or when you leave a country.

Our nursing team will provide all the advice you need, so book a routine appointment at Eden to discuss.
