Patients should self-refer with at least 6 weeks notice so that immunisation(s) will be effective at the time of travel. For patients that are unable to use the eform, can contact the immunisation administrator team on: 0800 130 3120. These patients will be assessed by the Immunisation Nurses trained in Travel Health and recommend appropriate treatment.  If a patient requires on free NHS vaccine, they will get their vaccine from the Immunisation Team.

If a patient requires NHS and private vaccine, they will be directed to the Community Pharmacy Contractors that already offer private travel health services

These pharmacies will offer free NHS vaccines and charge patients for the private immunisation.
