Before you travel

Consult your practice nurse well in advance of your dates of travel.

If travelling last minute still contact your nurse as it is better to have some protection than none at all.

When you contact the surgery explain to the receptionist that you need an appointment with the practice nurse for travel vaccinations. You will be asked to fill in a Travel Risk Assessment Form prior to your appointment.

Severnbank Surgery is a registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.
