You should start thinking about your travel vaccinations 2 to 3 months before you are due to travel.

For all advice and information regarding foreign travel please contact the Information Centre, run by The Friends Of Testvale Surgery, they will be able to assess your needs and then create a TRAVAX report for you. They will create the report and pass it to the Practice Nurse in readiness for you to make an appointment for your innoculations.

Please note that not all travel vaccinations are free of charge, also, there are some vaccinations that we cannot provide at Testvale Surgery. You will be advised of all costs and whether you need to attend a travel clinic for some innoculations when you contact us for your assessment.

** For routine protection against Tetanus and Polio please make appointments with the practice nurse. **
