PLEASE NOTE CHANGE TO TRAVEL VACCINATION SERVICE
If you are planning to travel outside the UK your travel health needs will depend on your individual situation and the following considerations:
- Your general health
- Where you are travelling to
- Where you will be staying
- How long you will be staying
- What you will be doing throughout your trip.
Lots of useful travel health information is available online from the Fit For Travel Website www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk provided by NHS Scotland. It is important you read through the information available online first before arranging a travel consultation with the Community Pharmacy NHS Highland Travel Health Service.
