Travel Vaccinations - Cantilupe & Hampton Dene Surgeries

There are some vaccinations which are FREE on the NHS. See the list below. These will be offered at the practice and you need to contact us 6 WEEKS before you travel so that we can assess what you need for your trip. Any immunisations you need must be given and courses completed at least 2 WEEKS before you travel so that they take full effect.. If we cannot offer you an appointment in that time frame, we will advise you to contact an external travel clinic.

We are no longer able to offer private travel vaccinations at Cantilupe or Hampton Dene surgeries. As i am sure you will understand, the nursing team need to focus on NHS care and caring for patients with long terms health related issues such as diabetes and heart disease, children’s immunisations and supporting the GP team.

Please see the NaTHNaC – Home (travelhealthpro.org.uk) for advice re NHS travel immunisation needs. If any of the immunisations below are required, please call us to book an appointment as soon as possible.
