Travel Vaccinations

Holbrooks Health Team now offer Travel Vaccinations.

Please contact a member of our reception team to request a travel questionnaire.

Please note:

  • You will not be able to book your travel vaccinations appointment with the nurse without completing the travel questionnaire first.
  • It is important that you complete the questionnaire as early as possible, at least 4-6 weeks before you travel.
  • Once the questionnaire is completed, our practice nurse can provide travel advice and arrange appropriate immunisations.
  • 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.

Travelling in Europe

Your rights & EU rules

If you are travelling to Europe the EU has published useful information for travellers on the European website.

As an EU national, you enjoy the right of free movement. This means you’re entitled to travel, work and live in another EU country. If you’re a citizen of a Schengen country – which is most EU countries – you’re also free to travel to other Schengen countries without the need for border checks.

As an EU national, you can also benefit from EU-wide passenger rights for travel into, out of or within the EU by air, rail, bus/coach or ship. You can travel with pets and other animals in the EU provided you comply with the rules (pet passports). There are EU limits on taking alcohol, tobacco or cash with you to another EU country. Each EU country can set its own limits or restrictions, so check before you go.
