Please note,
the
Travel
Clinic is
for Ashby
Health
Centre
patients
only.
We are
unable to
offer this
service to
anybody who
isn't
registered
with us. |
April 2007
Our travel clinic provides advice
and vaccinations (where required)
for our registered patients who are
travelling abroad. Unfortunately we
can't offer this service to patients
of other surgeries.
In order to
obtain
travel
advice and
immunisations
all
travellers
should:
-
Collect
from the
health
centre
or
download
ALL
these
three
documents:
i) a
Pre-travel
vaccination
disclaimer
form
ii) a
General
Travel
Advice
leaflet
iii) a
Pre-Travel
Health
and
Vaccination
Assessment
form
-
Return
the
completed
forms to
the
Health
Centre.
Please
give us
as much
notice
as
possible,
at least
8 weeks
prior to
departure
is
ideal.
-
Ring to
arrange
an
appointment
at least
3 days
after
submitting
the forms
(this
will
allow
the
treatment
room
nurses
to
assess
the form
and
decide
how long
an
appointment
will be
needed).
It takes
time to
give a
course
of
vaccinations
and they
take a
few days
after
the end
of the
course
to
become
fully
effective
Therefore
please
book
into the
travel
clinic
well
before
you are
due to
travel.
Eight
weeks or
more is
best.
However
we will
always
try and
fit you
in
although
there
may be
occasions
where we
just
can't do
this. In
these
instances
you will
need to
visit a
commercial
travel
clinic.
A number
are
listed
at the
bottom
of this
page.
Please
note
that
there
will be
charges
if you
need any
of the
following
because
they are
not
available
on the
NHS;
-
Rabies
-
Yellow
fever
-
Malaria
-
and
a
few
other
illnesses
which
will
be
notified
at
your
appointment.
Also
there
are some
obscure
vaccines
which we
do not
administer,
and in
this
case it
would be
the
responsibility
of the
patient
to find
out
where
they can
get
these.
For
example:
Japanese
Encephalitis
and
Tick-borne
Encephalitis.
If
we
are
unable
to
fit
you
into
our
travel
clinic
due
to a
lack
of
time these
are
some
commercial
travel
clinics
in
the
region
