Quote / Testimonial: Here at Honley Surgery we offer a wide range of travel vaccinations and medical advice regarding travel and being safe in the sun.
NHS funded travel vaccinations are available from your GP practice. The only travel vaccines that are provided by the NHS at no charge to patients are:
- Polio (given as combined diphtheria/tetanus/polio jab)
- Typhoid
- Hepatitis A
You will have to pay for travel vaccines that are not available free of charge on the NHS.
If you want to go to your GP practice for your travel vaccines, then you will need to make an appointment. The best way to do this is by contacting your practice’s reception who will ensure an appropriate length of appointment is made for you. The practice cannot guarantee being able to provide an appointment close to the date of your departure from the UK so please book your travel appointment in plenty of time – a minimum of eight weeks before travel is advised.
Further information on travel vaccinations is available at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/travel-vaccinations/
Travel Questionnaire
If you would like advice on travel vaccinations please collect a travel form from reception or complete the online version below.
Ideally this should be done one month before travel and we need 4 weeks notice to process the form.
