Travel Vaccinations

Information and advice for travelling abroad

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please complete our online travel form.

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 12 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

What we can offer

Hanham Health is able to offer travel vaccinations that are commonly required for many destinations and are offered free of charge by the NHS. These are:

  • Diphtheria, tetanus & polio (combined)
  • Hepatitis A
  • Typhoid
  • Cholera medication is also available on the NHS, but is not commonly required.

Other vaccinations may be necessary for more exotic or unusual destinations, complex travel itineraries, or long stay vacations. We are unable to administer these and you will need to contact a high street travel clinic (for example Nomad, Masta, or The Medical). There will be a charge for vaccinations given at these clinics.
