Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to firstly complete the following Travel Risk Assessment form, followed by an appointment with the Practice Nurse to discuss your travel arrangements.

Travel Risk Assessment

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online travel form before coming to see the nurse.

You should complete the Travel Risk Assessment form as early as possible - at least 10 -12 weeks before you travel

As soon as we receive the completed Travel Risk Assessment form, you will be contacted by the surgery to make a first appointment with the Practice Nurse to discuss the vaccinations you will need.

At your second appointment your vaccinations will be administered to you. This needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Please note, we do not hold any stock of travel vaccines and these will need to be ordered.

Travelling in Europe

Your rights & EU rules

If you are travelling to Europe the EU has published useful information for travellers on the European website.

As an EU national, you enjoy the right of free movement. This means you’re entitled to travel, work and live in another EU country. If you’re a citizen of a Schengen country – which is most EU countries – you’re also free to travel to other Schengen countries without the need for border checks.

As an EU national, you can also benefit from EU-wide passenger rights for travel into, out of or within the EU by air, rail, bus/coach or ship. You can travel with pets and other animals in the EU provided you comply with the rules (pet passports). There are EU limits on taking alcohol, tobacco or cash with you to another EU country. Each EU country can set its own limits or restrictions, so check before you go.
