Vaccinations

Around 4-6 weeks before you travel, you should start to think about whether or not need you any vaccinations before your travel. You can find out more about which vaccinations are recommended by visiting the NHS website here: http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Travel-immunisation/Pages/Introduction.aspx. Many UK GP surgeries also offer a travel clinic where you can book any vaccinations and ask your doctor whether any other medical treatment is required before you go. Please note there may be a fee for vaccinations.
