Planning to travel abroad this summer?
Book your holiday vaccinations in our dedicated travel clinic.
A travel risk assessment form needs to be completed and handed in at least 6 weeks before your holiday. This will ensure that you are provided with the correct vaccinations. These forms can either be downloaded from our website or requested from reception.
You will be provided with a quotation for the cost of the vaccinations and upon payment an appointment with our specialist travel nurse.
A price list for standard travel vaccinations and anti-malaria medication is available on our website. Other vaccinations are priced individually.
Visit www.travelhealthpro.org.uk for both general and country specific travel advice.

Yellow fever (YF) is a serious illness caused by the YF virus. YF is usually passed on to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito and occurs in parts of the tropical and sub-tropical regions of Africa and South/Central America.
YF can vary from a flu-like illness that gets better on its own over several days to a severe illness with fever, jaundice (turning yellow), bleeding and organ failure.
There is no specific medicine to treat YF. Most people with the disease will need to be admitted to hospital and treated for their symptoms, some in intensive care.
Many people who get YF will die from the disease.
