TRAVEL MEDICINE & ASSISTANCE
OVERSEASE TRAVEL VACCINATIONS
Some overseas travel requires extra vaccinations. You will need a consultation with a doctor to discuss these requirements.
How It Works:
- Book consultation to discuss travel vaccination requirements
- Doctor issues prescription (vaccinations not held at surgery)
- Fill prescription at chemist
- Return to surgery for nurse administration
