Travel Vaccinations

Important

The Vine Medical Centre is not a registered Yellow Fever Centre and cannot provide this vaccination, if required you will need to make an appointment with a Yellow Fever Centre.

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please complete our online travel form.

It is important to make this initial appoinment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel. At this appoinment the nurse & yourself will look at where you are going, your travel plans and past medical history to carry out a travel risk assessment before deciding what vaccines you need.  You may need follow up appoinments to actually recieve the vaccines as some are spread over a period of weeks.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

See our non-nhs private fees page for details
