Travel Vaccinations
The following travel vaccines are available free 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 visit travelhealthpro.org.uk/countries to find out which vaccines are needed.
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible – at least 6 weeks before you travel – as a second appointment may be required with the practice nurse to receive further booster vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment, should you need one, needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
We do not offer the following non-NHS travel vaccines
- 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 number of doses needed. You will need to contact a private travel clinic to have these vaccines.
