Travel Vaccinations

Information on travel vaccinations provided at Ireland Wood and Horsforth Medical Practice

Unfortunately, due to increasing NHS service demands on our nurses, we are no longer able to provide a comprehensive travel service. This is a non-NHS service and we are unable to continue to provide this. We will provide the following NHS travel vaccinations if patients have been advised by a travel service. Please plan in advance to obtain a routine appointment:

  • Tetanus, Diphtheria and Polio booster – protects patients for 10 years
  • Hepatitis A – protects patients for 25 years (if 2 doses given within 5 years)
  • Typhoid – protects patients for 3 years

It is important when travelling abroad that you have the appropriate travel advice, vaccinations and anti-malarial medication. Please contact a private vaccination clinic to arrange this. Note: There will be a charge for this service and the charges do vary.

If you require a computer print of your vaccination history to take with you to one of the following services, please look at your online record or contact reception to arrange this.
