Travel Vaccinations
Who do I see?
Travel Health Service
Advice:
From the 1st of April NHS Forth Valley’s Immunisation team will be taking over Travel Health Service for NHS Forth Valley patients.
Patients are to self-refer to the service using a risk assessment eform available on the immunisation page on NHS Forth Valley services page. Link available here NHS Forth Valley – Travel Health Service. Patients should self-refer with at least 6 weeks notice so that immunisation(s) will be effective at time of travel. For patients that can’t use the eform, patients should contact the immunisation administration team on 0800 130 3120
These patients will be assessed by our Immunisation Nurses trained in Travel Health and recommend appropriate treatment.
If a patient requires only free NHS vaccine, they will get their vaccine from the Immunisation team. If a patient requires NHS and private vaccine they will be directed to community pharmacy contractors that already offer private travel health services. These pharmacies will offer free NHS vaccines and charge patients for the private immunisation.
