The surgery are happy to offer travel advice and administer any vaccinations that come under the NHS.
These include:
- Diptheria/Polio/Tetanus
- Typhoid
- Hepatitis A
Any other immunisations will need to be administered by a private clinic.
You can check the Fit for Travel website that gives guidance and advice on the country you will be visiting and the immunisations that will be needed.
Alternatively, please speak to your tour operator or a private clinic concerning any immunisations you need for your travels.
Private Clinics
The nearest private clinics are:
- Wrightway
Unit 2, Beacon Park, NR31 7RQ – Tel: 01493 660700 - Globe Travel Health Centre
26 Cattle Market St, NR1 3DY – Tel: 01603 667323
Vaccinations are normally required at least 10-14 days before travel so please make sure you organise your appointment for the clinic in good time. Unfortunately, the above do not deal with malaria medication, so the alternatives for this are:
- Boots Travel Clinic – book an appointment online for this service, please note that this is a private service so you will be required to pay a consultation fee and prescription (admin) fee and medication from the pharmacy will not be at the normal prescription fee but whatever the medication costs the NHS. Travel Vaccinations & Health Advice Service – Boots
- Superdrug Travel Clinic – book an appointment online for this service, please note that this a private service so you will be required to pay a consultation fee and prescription (admin) fee and the medication from the pharmacy will not be at the normal prescription fee but whatever the medication costs the NHS. Travel Clinic – Superdrug Health Clinic
Please note for the travel clinics the nearest one to Lowestoft is in Norwich, so please allow time to organise your medication, with this being said some medication just needs to be taken the day before travel but you will need to check which medication you need in case this period is extended.
There is also an online doctor service via Asda:
The travel clinic allows you to discuss online your travel requirements and a prescription will be sent to the nearest Asda pharmacy (I would suspect) seeing it is an Asda service. Please be aware that this will be a private service so you will be required to pay for consultation, prescription (admin) and private prescription fee in pharmacy.
