While coronavirus has put limitations on all our lives, it is important that you, your baby or your child still have routine vaccinations. They protect against serious and potentially deadly illnesses and stop outbreaks in the community. We recommend that you book in for all scheduled appointments – see www.nhs.uk/vaccinations for details on when they are due.
Routine immunisations required within the UK, eg tetanus and polio, can be given by appointment at nurses’ general clinics.
Adult immunisations schedule – patients will be called by the practice when they are eligible for their vaccines, as recommended by public health.
Regular health clinics are run by the nurses. Here they give advice on aspects of healthcare for people planning to travel overseas, but note that appointments should be made well in advance of proposed travel. A charge may be made for some vaccines given at these.
As appointments for these clinics at short notice may not be available, patients urgently requiring vaccines may be advised to contact local commercial travel advice clinics.
