Travel health advice and vaccinations for overseas travel

For patients planning an overseas holiday we offer general health advice and vaccinations. Where we do not have vaccinations on hand, the pharmacy just over the road is able to help supply these.

It is best to book well in advance (12 weeks if you have a complicated itinerary or an interesting destination) and to bring your travel itinerary to your appointment.

The USA’s Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers up to date advice on the vaccinations recommended and also has great sections on travelling with children, during pregnancy and staying with family and friends overseas.
