Pre - Travel Vaccination Questionnaire
Requests for vaccinations require at least 8 weeks’ notice. This is important as some
vaccines do not offer adequate protection until up to 14 days after administration and
others up to 3 months particularly if you intend to travel for more than 1 month and/or to
remote areas. Please note that we cannot guarantee that requests for vaccinations at short
notice will be given by the practice. In these circumstances you may have to contact an
alternative provider.
Vaccinations that may be given for travel supplied by the NHS include Hepatitis A, Typhoid
Tetanus/diptheria/polio.
Below are travel vaccinations that are not provided by the NHS free of Charge. Depending
on your travel risk assessment you may be advised to have these vaccines. Payment can be
made in the form of either cash or cheque and vaccines courses must be paid for in full
before administration.
