Vaccinations – Travel Vaccinations

Thinking of travelling abroad? We’re here to help.

We provide travel advice and the vaccinations you may need before your trip — whether you’re going somewhere near or far. Some travel vaccines are free through the NHS; others are private / chargeable. Book early so there’s enough time to prepare.

• Fill in our Travel Vaccination Advice Form at least 10 weeks before travel if possible.
• The sooner you contact us, the better — some vaccines need doses spread over weeks.

• Both NHS (free) travel vaccinations and private (charged) vaccinations, depending on your destination, health, and the vaccine required.
• Appointments with our specially trained travel nurses.
• Yellow Fever Centre: Westongrove (Aston Clinton Surgery) is registered for Yellow Fever vaccination.

• Complete the Travel Vaccination Advice Form online. Include as much detail as you can (including the country you’re visiting, when you plan to travel, and your vaccine history).
• A travel nurse will review your form and estimate which vaccines you need and whether they are free or will incur charges.
• You will receive a text message asking you to contact reception to book your appointment. Make sure your mobile number is correctly included.
• On booking, the receptionist will be able to access your travel form and inform you of any cost. If we cannot offer you an appointment in time, we will give you a copy of your form so you can take it to another provider

• While some travel vaccinations are free, most private travel vaccines will have a cost. Payment will often be needed before your appointment.
• There is currently a national shortage of certain vaccines (including [list if known]). We may not always have every vaccine in stock — we’ll advise you of any limitations.

• If your passport name is different from your NHS COVID Pass (or other identity documents), you’ll need to allow time to correct it — this can be needed for travel documentation.
• Always check UK government travel advice for health alerts or vaccine requirements for your destination.

You can see which vaccinations you’ve already had via your GP records:
