Travel Vaccination Form
For the following reasons, we strongly recommend that you submit your Travel Health Questionnaire as early as possible and no later than 8 weeks before your travel date.
-
Vaccine Scheduling: Some vaccines require a series of doses spread out over a period of time. Having at least 8 weeks ensures that there is enough time to complete the full course of necessary vaccinations.
-
Vaccine Effectiveness: It can take a few weeks after vaccination for your body to develop full immunity. Getting vaccinated well in advance ensures that you are fully protected by the time you travel.
-
Availability and Appointments: Ensuring that there is ample time allows for scheduling appointments, ordering specific vaccines if they are not readily available, and addressing any potential delays in obtaining the vaccines.
-
Pre-travel Health Advice: Early submission of the questionnaire allows healthcare providers to offer comprehensive health advice, including information about preventing diseases and staying healthy during your travels.
-
Managing Side Effects: Some vaccinations might cause mild side effects. Having enough time before travel allows any side effects to resolve without impacting your trip.
-
Regulatory Requirements: Some countries have specific entry requirements regarding vaccinations. Providing adequate notice ensures compliance with these regulations, avoiding last-minute issues or travel disruptions.
What happens next?
Once you have submitted your questionnaire, the nurse will check the information, and then the surgery will contact you to arrange a suitable appointment. You will be advised if there are any costs related to the vaccinations. Some travel vaccinations are not available free of charge on the NHS and will need to be ordered on a private prescription. These will incur a charge above the normal prescription charge.
Unfortunately, if you do not submit your questionnaire at least 8 weeks before your travel date, we will unable to provide this service for you. However, we will recommend other local travel clinics that may be able to accommodate you.
