Travel Vaccinations
We do not provide a Tarvel Clinic at Haddo Medical Group. Our Nurse Practitioner will give you general advice and information. If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to contact a Tavel Clinic to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.
There are various providers in the local area, including the NHS Travel Clinic in Aberdeen and various local Pharmacies. You can locate these on the internet, or you can ask at reception for further contact details.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below
It is important to make this initial contact as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second contact may be required to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines may have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
