 If you are planning to travel

If you are planning to travel:

• Please allow plenty of time – some vaccines need to be given up to 2 months in advance.
• Certain vaccines may need to be ordered and kept for your use only.
• You will be advised at the first consultation of any costs involved and asked to bring payment on your next visit.

You may require booster vaccinations – advice will be given as to timescales and any additional costs involved.

Please note that all patients receiving immunisations and vaccinations are advised to remain in the building for 20 minutes afterwards – please allow time for this.
