Travel
We offer travel vaccinations to patients registered at Elm Hayes Surgery. We can offer Hep A, Typhoid and Tetanus vaccinations (providing these are available). We can also give you basic travel advice.
Should you require other vaccines, that are not covered by the NHS, you will be asked to attend a private travel clinic i.e. Malaria.
It is important to make contact with us as soon as possible, at least 6 weeks before you travel, as some vaccinations need to be ordered as they are not a stock item.
You will need an initial phone call with the Practice Nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. Following that appointment you may need another appointment to actually receive any vaccinations that are required.
Please note some of these vaccinations are not available on the NHS and will be chargeable. You may be asked to attend a private travel clinic.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below:
Please be aware we do not provide fitness to fly certificates. If your airline needs one please contact a private clinic.
