Travel Vaccination Service.
Start preparing for your trip at least six weeks before you go.
Our Travel Clinic is very busy, so we advise making arrangements for your travel vaccinations well in advance. If we cannot offer you a suitable appointment, there are alternative travel clinics available.
At Merstow Green Medical Practice we are currently only providing travel vaccinations that are covered by the NHS. If you require specific vaccinations and they are not covered by the NHS, you will need to attend a private clinic.
Please complete a Travel Vaccination Form by clicking the button below, so that an appointment can be made for you. Alternatively, you can call the Practice and be sent a form by text.
It’s important to make your initial appointment as early as possible, as a second appointment will need to be made to actually receive any necessary vaccinations. Most vaccines have to be specifically ordered, so it’s best to have your first appointment at least 6 weeks before your travels and another appointment 2 weeks before you travel, to allow the vaccines to take effect.
