Travel Vaccinations
Please remember to contact the practice early!
It can take up to 12 weeks to complete a course of travel vaccinations. On contacting the surgery advice will be given and arrangements made for an appointment in our travel clinic for any necessary immunisations.
All immunisations are administered by the practice nurse.
What to do if you are travelling abroad and may need vaccinating:
- Check with the surgery when you last had a Hepatitis A, Typhoid or Diphtheria, Polio & Tetanus (Revaxis).
- Visit www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk. Or NaTHNaC - Home (travelhealthpro.org.uk) This website provides you with the information you need to determine what vaccinations you require and if malaria medication is indicated.
- If you require any of the following vaccinations (Hepatitis A, Typhoid or Revaxis), you can book an appointment at Lime Tree Surgery. These vaccinations are provided on the NHS. Please be aware you need to have at least 4 weeks before you travel for vaccinations to be given.

Our travel clinic is only available to patients registered at Lime Tree Surgery. It is important that you contact us as early as possible, because some vaccinations require more than one injection and require time to become effective.

You can also use the fit for travel website which provides you with the information you need to determine what vaccinations you require and if malaria medication is indicated.
