Travel vaccinations
Churchmere Medical Group are only able to provide you with some vaccinations on the NHS that are recommended for travel purposes.
We strongly advise you to check your requirements at least three months before travel, as sometimes a course of up to three vaccinations is needed, which will take several weeks. It is your responsibility to ascertain which vaccinations (and, if relevant, anti-malaria tablets) you need, and also to inform yourself fully of recommended safe travel precautions – unless you attend a private travel clinic.
The following vaccinations are commonly required for many holiday destinations, and are free of charge on the NHS:
- Diphtheria, tetanus & polio (combined)
- Hepatitis A
- Typhoid
- Cholera
Other vaccinations may be necessary for more exotic or unusual destinations, complex travel itineraries or long stay vacations. These need to be given at a high street travel clinic and there may be a charge for these. If you would rather have all of your vaccinations done at these clinics, they can also give the vaccines above but there will be a charge for these.
Non-NHS Services
Some services provided fall outside the scope of the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:
- Medicals for pre-employment and driving requirements (HGV, PSV etc.)
- Insurance claim forms
- Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
- Private sick notes
Please contact the Practice Manager who will be able to advise about services and applicable charges.
