TRAVEL VACCINATIONS
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to telephone 0131 537 2823 and discuss your requirements for Travel Vaccinations. The Practice is no longer responsible for the booking of these appointments, however our Health Centre is a site offered for appointment purposes.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below:
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
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.
