Travel Vaccinations

The Mountwood Surgery is a designated Department of Health Vaccination Centre. We provide a full holiday/travel vaccination service, offering protection and cover against yellow fever, meningitis, hepatitis A + B, typhoid and tetanus. Up-to-date advice is given for appropriate anti-malarial protection. Most of this service is free to our patients. (There are a few exceptions which are not covered by the NHS).

Make sure you have adequate medical insurance and if you are visiting an EEC country you will need form E111. An application form is included in The Travellers Guide to Health (booklet S40) available from the Post Office.

Personalised information concerning vaccination for travel may also be obtained from a pharmacist or by telephoning MASTA on 0906 8224100 (calls charged at 60p per minute).

You must complete this form and then hand it in at Mountwood to make an appointment with the nurse a minimum of 3 weeks before departure.

If you do not comply with the above you may be referred to a travel clinic.

Private, paid for services, are also available from Harrow Health Centre, 0208 861 1221 or The Heston Health Centre, 0208 814 9644.
