Travel Health
Shifa Surgery offers a full travel advice and immunisation service. If you are travelling abroad please complete and submit our travel form which can be collected from reception. But please do so in plenty of time, (we recommend 6-8 weeks) before your journey.
The following NHS vaccines are available in the surgery: Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio, Hepatitis A & Typhoid.
It is also important to ensure you are up to date with any routine immunisations before traveling.
For any non NHS vaccines, please attend a private travel clinic.
