Travel Vaccinations
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you will need to fill in a form detailing where you are travelling (including the country and area/town/region) and when you are travelling. This form is passed to the nurse, and you will then have to contact the surgery seven days later to check whether you need to book in for any vaccinations.
