Or get a bargain at the travel agents?

Some vaccinations must be given a number of weeks before you travel and immigration officials at your destination country may not let you in unless your vaccination certificates are fully valid in this respect.

Your first step should be to find out what vaccinations you need for your destination country and how long before the date of travel they must be given.

Find out more at www.fitfortravel.scot.nhs.uk or www.masta.org or, if still unsure, make an appointment to speak to one of our Practice Nurses here at the Surgery well in advance of your travel date.

In order to ensure that your vaccinations are given with the appropriate intervals between each, and to give us enough time to order in the appropriate vaccines, we need 8 weeks advanced notice for travel vaccination appointments.

If you have left it to the last minute we recommend you contact a specialist private travel centre for advice. A list of local centres are available at Reception.
