General Practice no longer provide a travel and holiday vaccination service. NHS Forth Valley are now responsible for this service.
Patients require to self-refer to the service using the risk assessment eform available on the immunisation page on NHS Forth Valley services page. Link available here NHS Forth Valley – Travel Health Service. Patients should self-refer with at least 6 weeks notice so that immunisation(s) will be effective at time of travel. Patients who can’t use the eform should contact the immunisation administration team on 0800 130 3120.
Patients will be assessed by Immunisation Nurses trained in Travel Health and recommend appropriate treatment.If only free NHS vaccines required, patients will get their vaccine from the Immunisation team. If a patient requires NHS and private vaccine they will be directed to community pharmacies that offer private travel health services. These pharmacies will offer free NHS vaccines and charge patients for the private immunisation.
