Travel Health Advice

If you have a complex travel itinerary or if you are travelling beyond Europe or for longer than 2 weeks, we strongly recommend that you make an appointment with a Private Travel Clinic for advice and possible private vaccinations. We no longer offer private travel vaccines at Lyme Bay Medical Practice.

Please note that any vaccine needs to be administered at least 2 weeks before travelling, we recommend that if you require any of the NHS vaccinations, that you make an appointment with one of our trained nurses 4 weeks before.

If you require a list of your previous vaccinations we will be happy to provide this for you.
