Travel Vaccination Clinic
Travel Vaccination Clinic in Winchester
At The Walcote Practice, we are passionate about travel! Our doctors provide bespoke travel health advice and vaccinations based on your chosen destination/s, enabling you to make the most of your time abroad, whether for work or leisure. We guarantee that you will be seen by a doctor who will personally assess and administer your vaccines.
In addition, each of our GPs is a seasoned traveller with first hand experience of the issues you may encounter, able to advise on preventative measures which can make a big difference. As an experienced international expedition medic, Dr Nicholas Hillier offers specialised travel health assessment and advice to people planning to go off the beaten track into more remote areas, particularly those embarking upon gap years, expeditions and charity work.
Travel Services
If you are planning to travel abroad, our private GPs will work to best protect your health by:
- advising on exactly which vaccination/s you will require based on your individual travel itinerary
- personally providing and administering your travel vaccinations on a same day basis if indicated
- prescribing malaria prophylaxis, if required
- advising on additional health considerations based upon your chosen destination
We stock a wide range of standard travel vaccinations (see below) and are able to quickly order any other vaccines if these are required. In order to receive optimal protection from travel health vaccinations, it is best to book your initial travel health consultation with The Walcote Practice at least two months prior to your date of travel if possible. Should your travel date be sooner than this, we will do our utmost to provide you with as much travel vaccination protection as can be administered within the given timeframe.
