Travel Vaccinations
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment a travel clinic before we can administer any vaccinations free under the NHS. Please ensure you have a full report with you before you make your appointment.
The closest travel clinic is The MASTA clinic at Kerrsland Surgery:
169 Upper Newtownards Road
Belfast
BT4 3HZ
Tel : 03301004123
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your appointment to administer the vaccinations need to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
