Travel Vaccinations at Westongrove

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.

Our Travel Clinics and related travel services will be temporarily suspended from mid January until mid February 2026.

We will be unable to accept or process any travel forms or requests during this time.

Please ensure travel forms are submitted well in advance.

Urgent travel vaccinations can be given at private travel clinics and certain pharmacies if required.

Many thanks

Westongrove Travel Team.

When you need to start planning

  • 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.

What our travel service offers

  • 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.

How the process works

  • 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

Charges & Shortages

  • 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.

Other important things to check

  • 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.
