International travel

The rapid growth in international travel has increased the potential for diseases to spread.

The lack of adequate immunisation programmes in other countries means that the protection of our own population is essential to halt the re-emergence of disease.

If you are planning to travel abroad you will find more information on the National Travel Health Network and Centre website. Alternatively you can make an appointment to discuss your health risks and recommended vaccinations with your practice nurse or GP.

Visit The National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC) (external link) for travel vaccine advice.
