Travel vaccinations
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. The nurse will let you know if this is the case at your appointment. There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the Travel Health Pro website
