NHS vaccinations

It’s important to make sure that your child has all of their routine childhood vaccinations. It’s the most effective way of keeping them protected against infectious diseases.

Ideally, children should have their vaccinations at the right age to protect them as early as possible and to minimise the risk of infection.

Your GP will be able to tell you what vaccinations children need. You can also find more information about children’s vaccinations and benefits on the NHS website.

Seasonal flu is a highly infectious illness that’s caused by a flu virus. The virus infects your lungs and upper airways, and can cause a high temperature, aches and pains. A flu vaccination can help limit your risk of getting the flu.

Our surgery offers flu vaccinations to patients. We offer two routine vaccinations – one for patients under 65 years and another vaccine for patients over 65 years.

You can contact the surgery to find out more about flu vaccinations or visit the NHS website.

We do not offer a travel advisory service. If you need further advice please contact a travel clinic such as NOMAD (0117 922 6567) or a MASTA Travel clinic (0330 100 4141).

We offer routine vaccinations to our patients travelling abroad who may need to be vaccinated.

The vaccines that we can offer as a NHS service are Polio, Typhoid, Hepatitis A and Chlorea.

It may take up to eight weeks for a full course of vaccinations, so please contact us well in advance to give yourself plenty of time if you’re planning to go abroad where you’re required to be vaccinated.

Some vaccinations are classified as private and therefore you will need to visit a private provider for these.

 You can also find useful information about travel vaccinations on the Travel vaccinations page on the NHS website.
