Travel health

Stay safe and healthy abroad

If you are planning a trip outside the UK please visit Fit for Travel NHS website for further information on vaccinations required:

The NHS is only able to provide specific vaccinations to its NHS patients for travel. These include:

Cholera
Hepatitis A
Typhoid
Polio
Diptheria, Tetanus and Polio (Revaxis)

You must request travel advice at least 8 weeks before your departure date.

This is because some vaccines:

need to be given in advance to let your body develop immunity
involve a number of doses over weeks or months

To receive additional vaccinations please visit a private travel clinic
