Travel Clinics and Advice
We are currently unable to provide travel advice or assessments but information about travelling to other counties and vaccinations needed can be found on the following websites:
The following travel vaccines are available free on the NHS:
- Cholera
- Diphtheria/Tetanus/Polio
- Hepatitis A
- Typhoid
These vaccines are free because they protect against diseases thought to represent the greatest risk to public health if they were brought into the country.
We are not able to provide any other vaccinations for the purpose of travel.
We recommend you contact a private travel vaccination clinic or pharmacy offering travel health services for a full assessment and advice – view the following list:
- UEA Travel Clinic – 01603 251600
Travel Health Service – UEA Medical Centre (umsuea.co.uk) - Boots Kings Lynn – 01553 767778
Travel Vaccinations & Health Advice Service – Boots
The practice can provide you with a copy of your immunisation history if required.
In Primary Care we provide the following travel vaccinations free of charge:
- Polio
- Typhoid
- Hepatitis A
- Cholera
Once you have had your assessment, if you require any of the immunisations offered on the NHS, please contact the practice to book an appointment with the practice nurse. We will need to know which vaccinations you require at the time of booking the appointment.
Please be aware that we cannot guarantee travel vaccination at short notice. If you inform us too late for your trip, you may need to arrange your vaccinations with an alternative travel clinic/pharmacy.
The cost of travel vaccines that aren’t available on the NHS will vary depending on the vaccine and number of doses needed. It is the responsibility of the patient to organise their own travel vaccinations. Malaria prophylaxis and advice is also the patient’s responsibility and is bought privately. These are both available through private travel clinics such as Boots High Street in Kings Lynn, The Globe Travel Clinic in Norwich.
