TRAVEL VACCINATIONS

If you are require vaccinations for foreign travel, please complete the questionnaire below detailing the particulars of your trip. Please either email this completed form to woodleyvillagesurgery@nhs.net or hand it in at reception.

Some travel vaccinations are provided to our registered patients under the NHS (free of charge), but many, including a prescription for Malaria tablets, do unfortunately incur a fee. 

For chargeable vaccinations, payment must be received before any appointment(s) can be booked with the nurse to administer them. Please bear in mind that such vaccinations need to be specially ordered in, and a failure to attend any appointment(s) booked will result in a forfeit of the full fee.

Please note that most vaccinations need to be administered at least 4 weeks prior to departure so the surgery will need receipt of this form a minimum of 8 weeks before you are due to travel.

Once we receive the form, a member of our reception team will contact you within 3 working days to arrange a telephone consultation with the practice nurse to run through your vaccination requirements.

Once you have had your telephone consultation with the nurse, reception will contact you within 3 working days to book any appointment(s) needed to administer the vaccines and take any fees due.

Please note

· You can also approach your local travel clinic to receive the chargeable vaccines

· The surgery doesn’t provide a yellow fever vaccination service.
