Information for Patients Planning on Travelling

Please note: we can only offer travel vaccinations to registered patients.

We ONLY offer NHS travel vaccines at Whiteladies Medical Group ( WMG)

We strongly advise you check your vaccine and malaria protection requirements on either link below, at least 8weeks prior to travel. Sometimes a course of up to 3 vaccinations is required, which may take several weeks to complete.

It is your responsibility to check which vaccines/and/or malaria tablets you require and also familiarise yourself with other recommended safe travel precautions.

There is more information available for travellers at Fitfortravel and/orTravelhealthpro

These can be administered at the surgery following an online assessment. Please ensure ( if possible) you have your immunisation history for the past 10years available for the online assessment.
