Advice for travellers to foreign countries

Advice can be given on travel anywhere for business or pleasure.

Having given us details of your travel plans, dates, lengths of stay and countries to be visited, we will give you appropriate advice.

You will require an application form for each traveler. Please give exact details of your destination and return the forms to reception. The form will be completed by the Practice Nurse indicating the recommended vaccines. You should contact the surgery 5 working days after handing in the form and book an appointment. This should be a double appointment with the nurse for each person requiring immunisation. This allows adequate time for the form filling etc.

If you are going abroad at short notice it is possible to arrange immunisation quickly and advice will be given. Future trips may then only require a booster.

Immunisation cannot be given without the completed forms. After your injections have been given the nurse will fill in a record card for you to keep and tell you when next to attend the surgery.

Rabies vaccine is not usually offered in advance, but may be required if you are working with animals or visiting isolated area where rabies occurs.

If you need YELLOW FEVER vaccination you can organise this first, leaving plenty of time to fit in other injection. To do this you will need to contact Stirchley Medical Practice on 01952 660444.

Please REMEMBER to bring all previous injection certificates with you to your first appointment.

If you have any problems or queries regarding your travel then please consult the Practice Nurse.
