Please note: Due to capacity we cannot guarantee there will be an appointment to suit your planned travel dates.
When travelling abroad you need to start thinking about your travel vaccination 8-12 weeks prior to departure. Some vaccines can take time to become effective and may need to be ordered in.
The Nuffield Practice provides NHS vaccines for travel but are unable to provide a comprehensive travel assessment. If you are visiting more than one country, backpacking or have any significant health conditions (including pregnancy) we recommend that you seek advice from a travel clinic where more specific advice regarding other vaccines and anti-malarial requirement can be obtained by specially trained practitioners. Locally there is the Oxford Travel Clinic.
We only administer the following vaccinations for patients over 2 years old at our surgery:
- Hepatitis A (after 2 doses lasts 25 years)
- Typhoid (lasts 3 years)
- Combined Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio (lasts 10 years)
- Cholera
If you need any other vaccinations you will need to book an appointment for these at a Travel Clinic such as Oxford Travel Clinic. In order for you to determine which vaccinations you may need please visit travelhealthpro.org.uk.
If you need any of the 4 vaccinations listed above, these are covered on the NHS. Please contact Reception to book a travel vaccination appointment with the Practice Nurse. Please fill in Travel Consent Form.
Please note: You must bring the Travel Consent Form to your appointment; you will not be able to have the vaccination/s without it.
