Vaccinations & Immunisations
Children's vaccinations are by appointment with a practice nurse. Adults - are you up to date with your tetanus, polio and influenza vaccinations? For rouine protection please make appointments with the Practice Nurse.

Travel Immunisations
We no longer hold Foreign Travel Clinics at the surgery, Unfortunately we are no longer able to offer this service. Vaccinations can be given at British Airways Masta Clinc, Lisson Grove, Mutley. Contact 01752 205556 to make an appointment. We can provide patients with a print out of their vaccination history given at the surgery.

N.B The pharmacies offer different levels of information to travellers, which is likely to be expanded shortly. We will keep you informed of the latest information as soon as we are able.

It would be helpful if patients could give us details of any immunisations received so we can update your records accordingly. Thank you.
