Travel Vaccinations and advice

Vaccinations

NHS Forth Valley's Immunisation team are now responsible for Travel Health Services for patients

Patients can self-refer to the service using a risk assessment eform available on the immunisation page on NHS Forth Valley services page. Link available here NHS Forth Valley – Travel Health Service.

Patients can self-refer with at least 6 weeks notice so that immunisation(s) will be effective at time of travel. For patients that can't use the eform, patients should contact the immunisation administration team on 0800 130 3120.
