Vaccinations
It is important that you allow sufficient time for your travel vaccinations to be given and take effect; you should therefore make your first appointment with as much time as possible prior to your date of travel.
Rowden Surgery is a registered yellow fever centre and can give yellow fever vaccinations to patients not registered at the practice.
Fees
Some vaccinations are available on the NHS, but many incur a fee or occasionally may need to be obtained by a private prescription from the surgery for dispensing at the chemist. The private prescription is £20.00 per patient per prescription, payable upon collection; the chemist will also charge for dispensing the drug.
Should a fee be required, you will need to pay this prior to attending for your appointment.

Medical Advice
Some patients who feel they are at a particularly high risk from travelling may wish to discuss their travel arrangements with their GP. However, our nurses are capable of answering most questions and will call upon the GP’s advice if they feel the question lies outside their expertise.
