Travel Vaccinations

Travel Vaccinations and Advice

Our nurses offer certain travel vaccinations but they, and the doctors, are not able to offer travel advice. Please make sure that you arrange for your vaccinations well in advance of your trip as having them too close to your time of departure may mean that they are not effective.

Before making an appointment with one of our nurses you will need to visit the MASTA Travellers website Vaccine Checker – MASTA Travel Health | For All Your Vaccination advice (masta-travel-health.com) to find out which vaccinations are currently required for the area to which you are travelling. Please bring this information with you to your appointment.

 

Issuing fitness-to-fly certificates during pregnancy is not provided by the NHS, including services from midwives, consultant obstetricians, and GPs.

If you require a fitness-to-fly certificate, you will need to contact a registered private health provider. You can find one by searching for ‘fitness to fly certificate in pregnancy’ online.

For further information on air travel during pregnancy, please look at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) leaflet: RCOG Air Travel During Pregnancy Guide
