Travel advice and vaccinations are not covered under the NHS and regrettably we are no longer able to provide a full service for our patients but we will try to help you all we can. For instance, we can give some travel vaccinations such as polio, tetanus and certain boosters, particularly for frequent travelers provided we have up to date records of your previous vaccinations.
