Travel Vaccinations

St. Mary’s Surgery offer basic travel advice and vaccinations to patients looking to travel abroad.

As soon as a patient is aware they require travel vaccinations, they will need to book an pre-travel advice appointment with the Practice Nurse at least 4 weeks prior to the date of travelling, which gives us time to make sure we have the vaccines in stock.

During this appointment, they will be given a pre-travel questionnaire which must be completed and returned at least 1 week prior to the date of travelling. This will give the Practice Nurse time to decipher what a patient needs and make sure we have the correct vaccines in stock. If we have not received the completed form, their appointment will be cancelled.

These travel vaccination clinic appointments are pre-bookable only. If a patient doesn’t have an appointment booked and requires travel vaccinations, they cannot be seen at the surgery and will need to contact the Travel Health Clinic instead.
