A risk assessment form for vaccines for travel must be completed and returned to the practice before making a travel appointment.

Access our Risk Assessment form for Vaccines for Travel.

The practice is able to provide a basic provision for patients wishing to travel abroad and can provide all of the NHS vaccines.

Please note this practice is not a travel clinic therefore if specialist travel advice is required or specialist vaccinations are needed (for example rabies, yellow fever) this must be sourced from a specialist travel clinic. Malaria prevention tablets can be purchased from most high street chemists.

The following NHS vaccines for travel are available in Haygarth surgery:

• Diphtheria, Polio and Tetanus (combined vaccine)
• Typhoid
• Hepatitis A

Please allow at least 8 weeks prior to departure date to help us try to meet your travel vaccination needs. We have a very limited service provision for vaccinations required for travel, therefore please ensure that risk assessment is fully completed to enable the nurse to assess your NHS vaccine needs and ensure that you receive your vaccinations in time for your departure date.

Please be advised we cannot accommodate NHS vaccine needs for travel when this is required for last minute travel.

You can obtain advice on the vaccines recommended for your destination of travel from the Nathnac website: www.travelhealthpro.org.uk

Any other required vaccinations for travel are available from:

• Nomad travel clinic – www.nomadtravel.co.uk
• Boots – travel – www.boots.com – Travel health
