NHS Forth Valley

TRAVEL HEALTH SERVICE

There are always risks associated with travelling. NHS Forth Valley offer a travel assessment and NHS/private travel vaccination service for residents of Forth Valley.

Travel Vaccinations

Travelling means different things to different people; backpacking around the world, visiting relatives, trekking the jungle, lounging by the Pool. However, many popular destinations require vaccines or medication to keep you safe.

Some travel vaccines are available free on the NHS to protect against disease being brought into the country.

We ask travellers to complete a health assessment at least 8 – 10 weeks before departure.
