NHS vaccinations

It’s important that you have the vaccinations you need to keep you safe and to minimise the risk of infections. We offer a number of vaccinations at our surgery. Your GP will be able to let you know what vaccinations you need. You can also find more information about vaccinations and when to have them on the NHS vaccination schedule.

Childhood immunisation

It’s important to make sure that your child has all of their routine childhood vaccinations. It’s the most effective way of keeping them protected against infectious diseases.

Ideally, children should have their vaccinations at the right age to protect them as early as possible and to minimise the risk of infection.

Your GP will be able to tell you what vaccinations children need. You can also find more information about children’s vaccinations and benefits on the NHS website.

Flu vaccinations

Seasonal flu is a highly infectious illness that’s caused by a flu virus. The virus infects your lungs and upper airways, and can cause a high temperature, aches and pains. A flu vaccination can help limit your risk of getting the flu.

Our surgery offers flu vaccinations to patients. We offer two routine vaccinations – one for patients under 65 years and another vaccine for patients over 65 years.

You can contact the surgery to find out more about flu vaccinations or visit the NHS website.

Travel vaccinations

Please note we may not be able to administer travel vaccinations if the request is less than 10 weeks in advance

Allow 8 weeks as a minimum

Are you planning a trip abroad?

Please contact us well in advance, at least 10 weeks before your date of travel. Some vaccines require more than one injection and your last appointment should be two weeks before travel to ensure effective immunity.

What is the process?

Please visit - www.travelhealthpro.org.uk

Enter your destination details and this will give you up to date travel health advice for that location including recommended vaccinations and if malaria protection is advised.

Please ensure you complete this step before the online questionnaire below. We need you to research the vaccinations you might require and list them on the form, even if you are unsure if you have had that vaccination in the past. The website also includes really useful information about your travel and the destination. Without completing this step and researching what vaccines you may need your form will be returned to you and we will be unable to book an appointment with our nurses.

Complete the online questionnaire

Please enter all countries to be visited and details of the vaccines you think you might need.

If you have details of previous vaccines please enter these too.

Travel Questionnaire

Next steps

One of our nurses will be in touch to discuss your questionnaire and book an appointment if you have completed part one of the process.

We will try to get back to you as soon as we can, but this service does not take priority over NHS healthcare.

If you are travelling at short notice we are unable to guarantee an appointment; there are private travel health service providers who might be able to help.
