North West Travel Clinic

The Travel Clinic, located at our main Glossop Surgery provides a specialist service for travellers requiring vaccination and immunisation. Qualified nursing staff are on hand to offer advice and administer vaccinations. We are an authorised yellow fever vaccination site.

Correct immunisation is vital to ensure good health whilst travelling and our staff are fully up-to-date with the latest vaccination requirements in each part of the world.

For ease of access, The North West Travel Clinic is open on Saturday mornings and Thursday evenings.

Please call 01457 860860 to arrange an appointment.

Download our brochure (including Vaccination History form and price list)

There is information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Carribean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Most travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because travel vaccination is not included in the services provided by the NHS and therefore is a chargeable service.
