Meopham Medical Centre
Clinics
Our Nurses can provide comprehensive travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations from the above list. Please arrange an appointment for a travel consultation at least 6-8 weeks before departure if possible. Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks.
Travel Vaccinations
Request Travel Assessment
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please request our Travel Assessment. We can then send the form to you via email or text message.
It is important to submit the online travel form as early as possible - at least 8 weeks before you travel . We cannot currently offer all travel vaccinations, and so need to advise you if we can arrange the ones you require. Travel vaccines also have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Vaccinations need to be given at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow for them to work.
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.
Nurse Review
Our nurses will then review your form and advise our administrative team which vaccinations are required.
Contact the surgery after 48 hours
Patient's are advised to contact the surgery after 48 hours of initial form submission to find out if any vaccinations are required - at which point they can book an appointment to have these done.
