Due to the large volume of phone calls please note that we cannot give advice over the phone.
We currently do not screen the referrals and therefore won’t know until we see you on the day whether you need any vaccinations or medication. We therefore strongly advise that you visit the Fit For Travel Website for further advice on your destination and situation.
Please also note that we do not have access to your vaccination records. These are held independently by your GP or other travel clinics you may have visited. We therefore advise you to bring your vaccination history with you to your appointment with us.
