If you require foreign travel vaccinations, please call in to the Health Centre and pick up a pre-travel risk assessment form. Please list all countries including in-transit ones to determine what vaccinations are required. There is further information about countries and vaccinations required by clicking here and selecting the country/countries you intend travelling to.
It is important to contact the Health Centre as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you intend to travel. This is because some of these vaccines have to be ordered as they are not stock items. Once the Healthcare professional has decided which vaccines you require, they may need to be ordered on prescription to be collected from the Well Pharmacy on Dalbeattie High Street. You will then be contacted to make an appointment with the practice nurse to administer the vaccines.
It is YOUR responsibility to pick up YOUR vaccines from the pharmacy before your appointment and keep them in a fridge if it says so on the packet.
Please note that some medication(s) required for travel immunisations will be issued on a private prescription and will incur a fee payable at the pharmacy. This is because travel vaccination is not included in the services provided by the NHS and is therefore a chargeable service. There is a charge of £15.00 admin fee to be paid upon handing your Pre Travel Risk assessment form in. The Healthcare professionals will then check which vaccines your require, and we will contact you to arrange the appropriate appointments. You will be informed of any further payments necessary at this point. These will be payable at the time of your appointment.
ANY appointments cancelled within 24 hours of the appointment time will incur a £20.00 charge, payable upon your new appointment.
Dalbeattie Medical Practice is a Licensed Yellow Fever Centre. The cost of a yellow fever vaccination together with the vaccination certificate is £50.00.
Private Prescription(up to 3 items) = £10.00
Private Appointment(per 15 min appt) =£20.00
