Our Practice Nurses will be pleased to advise you on health matters for travel abroad.
You will also find lots of helpful information from the following:
NHS immunisation webpage for travellers
Department of Health: Health advice for travellers
Foreign & Commonwealth Office: Travel Advice
World Health Organization: International travel and health
A very useful site that also advises which vaccinations are required is:
Health Protection Scotland: fitfortravel
The Practice Nurses are able to advise you of the vaccinations that you may need and have access to up-to-date information.
Please come and discuss your requirements with one of them 12 weeks before you are due to travel, if at all possible, as a course of vaccinations for foreign travel can take as long as 10 weeks to complete.
Some vaccinations needed for travel are available on the NHS, but others have to be paid for privately. A list of our fees for adminstering these, and for a prescription for medications required solely for travel (such as anti-malarial tablets) is shown below. The cost of the drugs themselves is additional.
Topcliffe Surgery is a National Travel Health Network Designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.
