Vaccinations

Going on holiday or a business trip? It’s worth taking a few moments to consider that travelling around the world always brings with it some risks to health.

Vaccinations are required when travelling to certain countries; the number and type of immunisations vary from country to country.

The UK department of health booklet ‘Health advice for Travellers’ provides information about vaccinations you may need for different countries. Your GP should also be able to give you advice and administer vaccinations – or refer you to someone who can.

Please contact your doctor at least 6-8 weeks prior to travelling to discuss your requirements.
