Fees
Our travel clinic prioritises transparency in pricing for our comprehensive range of services. Please refer to the following for detailed fees, allowing you to plan accordingly for your specific travel needs.
There is a £15 administration fee for an application (paid at the reception upon submitting your travel form).
For each subsequent application (eg other family members) there is only a £5 additional charge as long as all the forms are submitted at the same time.
Some vaccinations are funded on the NHS (eg Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio, Typhoid), and these will be administered without any further charges.
Other vaccinations require a private prescription (eg Meningitis, Rabies, Japanese Encephalitis, Hepatitis B, Tick Borne Encephalitis). There is a £12 fee for each prescribed item.
Please note the above fee for a private prescription does NOT include the cost of the medication, which is charged by the Pharmacy during the collection of the medication.
There is £80 fee for yellow fever vaccine. This includes the cost of the medication, an appointment for administration and the yellow fever certificate.
