Travel Vaccinations
We do not provide travel clinics or travel health advice in the practice. You can access travel clinics locally at Boots (Kingston Park & Newcastle), and Superdrug (Newcastle and Metro Centre) amongst others.
You will need to discuss which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.
You can request a copy of your vaccination history through Greystoke Surgery prior to your appointment to assist with this.
It is important to make this appointment as early as possible before travelling as a series of appointments may be required to actually receive the vaccinations and/or medications. If recommended by the local travel clinic we can provide the following vaccinations free on the NHS to travellers:
- DIPTHERIA/TETNUS/POLIO (D/T/P)
- HEPATISTIS A
- TYPHOID
- CHOLERA
Appointments for the above vaccinations are only available if you have been advised that they are required by a travel clinic. Prior to booking your vaccinations at Greystoke, you will be asked to submit your travel recommendations provided by your Travel Clinic. Please give at least 4 weeks notice when booking with the practice nurse (appointments for travel vaccinations are not available on the day or at short notice). We are unable to administer any vaccines without sight of the travel clinic documentations.
All other vaccinations and travel health advice should be provided by the travel clinic.
