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
Please contact the surgery to arrange a telephone consultation with the practice nurse. She will then work out what is required and make the necessary appointments. Ideally we require 8 weeks notice.

We can only offer Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Tetanus & Diptheria. These are free if they are a requirement for that country.

Alternatively vaccinations can be given at British Airways Masta Clinic, Lisson Grove, Mutley. Contact 01752 205556 to make an appointment. There will be a charge for this service.
It would be helpful if patients could give us up to date details of any immunisations received so we can update your records accordingly.
