Travel Health

Our practice nurses are available by appointment to offer travel vaccinations where appropriate. Please telephone reception to book an appointment.
TRAVEL VACCINATIONS
However, our practice can provide the following NHS vaccines related to travel:
- Hepatitis A (infectious hepatitis)
- Typhoid
- Tetanus, Diphtheria & Polio – as given in the combined Td/IPV vaccine
- Cholera – this is NOT given commonly needed for travel as the risk of getting it is very small. It is recommended in a very small subset of people.
Once you have received your travel advice and if it indicates that you need one or more of the above vaccines, please book an appointment with our practice to obtain the NHS travel vaccine with our practice nurses. To ensure timely vaccination, please schedule your appointment well in advance of your intended travel date. As this is considered a routine appointment, we recommend booking it at least EIGHT WEEKS before your departure. If routine appointments are not available, you may not be able to receive this service, and the practice cannot be held responsible for any delays.
Thank you for your understanding.
Kind regards,
Ratby Medical Centre Team
