Before travelling abroad it is important that you check whether or not you need to have any extra immunisations or to take any precautions against malaria or other nasty bugs. Information can be gleaned from Internet sites such as Fit For Travel or MASTA.  You may find it helpful before booking your appointment, to telephone M.A.S.T.A. on 09068 224100 (calls charged at 50p per minute); you will be given the most up-to-date travel advice and information regarding the necessary vaccinations. Within 24 hours you will receive a printout from them giving details of their advice for your personal requirements.

Our practice nurse deals with all holiday immunisations and will discuss your travel arrangements with you. Some of the immunisations are available free on the NHS; others must be paid for as they count as private treatment.

Please make an appointment with the nurse mentioning that it is for Travel Immunisation Advice - and remember each person travelling needs their own appointment!
