Travel Vaccinations
We offer travel vaccines that are available free on the NHS. We do not offer travel vaccines that are only available privately.
To request NHS travel vaccines, use our online request form and choose ‘I have an admin or routine care request’.
Travel Vaccines Available on the NHS
- Polio (given as a combined diphtheria/tetanus/polio jab)
- Typhoid
- Hepatitis A
- Cholera
These vaccines are free because they protect against diseases thought to represent the greatest risk to public health if they were brought into the country.
You can check which vaccines you may need on the TravelHealthPro country information pages.
Please submit your request as early as possible, at least 6 weeks before you travel. A second appointment with the practice nurse may be needed for booster vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered, as they are not kept in stock. If you need a second appointment, it should be at least 2 weeks before you travel, to allow the vaccines to work.
Travel Vaccines We Do Not Offer
- Hepatitis B
- Japanese encephalitis
- Meningitis Vaccines
- Rabies
- Tick-borne encephalitis
- Tuberculosis (TB)
- Yellow fever
The cost of travel vaccines that are not available on the NHS will vary, depending on the vaccine and the number of doses needed. You will need to contact a private travel clinic to have these vaccines.
