Stay safe and healthy abroad

Holiday vaccination clinics are held at Albert Road on a Monday afternoon and at Sidley Surgery on a Wednesday afternoon. Kindly complete the holiday form for the practice nurse to ascertain what Travel Vaccinations are required. Contact the surgery after 7 days to enquire if any vaccinations are needed. Please be aware there are fees incurred for this service.

It is important to make this initial appointment at least eight weeks before you travel so that the vaccines can be ordered. You will need a second appointment to receive the vaccinations.  Your second appointment should be at least two weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription which cost more than the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
