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.
