Travel Vaccinations

If you are thinking of travelling outside the UK, start preparing for your trip, especially long trips, at least 8 weeks before you go. You don't always need vaccinations to travel abroad. If you do, the type of travel jabs you need depends on which country you're visiting and what you're doing. Please be aware that some of the vaccinations require more than one dose and some do not become effective until a number of weeks after the injection.

Under the GMS contract we are contracted to provide the following travel vaccinations: Cholera, Hep A, Polio, and Typhoid.

There is currently a waiting time of 2-3 weeks for patients wishing to book in for travel advice.

Travelling in Europe

Your rights & EU rules

If you are travelling to Europe the EU has published useful information for travellers on the European website.

As an EU national, you enjoy the right of free movement. This means you’re entitled to travel, work and live in another EU country. If you’re a citizen of a Schengen country – which is most EU countries – you’re also free to travel to other Schengen countries without the need for border checks.

As an EU national, you can also benefit from EU-wide passenger rights for travel into, out of or within the EU by air, rail, bus/coach or ship. You can travel with pets and other animals in the EU provided you comply with the rules (pet passports). There are EU limits on taking alcohol, tobacco or cash with you to another EU country. Each EU country can set its own limits or restrictions, so check before you go.
