GP clinic · Many private GPs offer travel vaccinations. Prices vary. Check if Yellow Fever registered.

Should you go private or use the NHS?

NHS route

Some travel vaccines are available free on the NHS through your GP practice nurse, including hepatitis A, typhoid, cholera (Dukoral), and polio boosters. However, many travel vaccines are not available on the NHS and must be paid for privately. These include yellow fever (£60-100), rabies (£50-70/dose), Japanese encephalitis (£90-110/dose), meningitis ACWY for travel (£40-65), tick-borne encephalitis (£55-75/dose), and hepatitis B (£30-60/dose). Malaria tablets are also not available on the NHS for travel.

Typical wait: 1–2 weeks (GP nurse appointment)

Private route

Same-day or next-day appointments. Choose your provider. No referral needed in most cases.

Typical wait: 24 hours – 1 week

When private travel vaccination makes sense

→

You need vaccines not available on the NHS

Yellow fever, rabies, Japanese encephalitis, meningitis ACWY, and tick-borne encephalitis vaccines are only available privately. You must visit a travel clinic or private provider for these.

→

You are travelling soon

Private travel clinics offer same-day and walk-in appointments. NHS GP nurse appointments may have a 1-2 week wait, which could be too late for imminent travel.

→

You need a Yellow Fever certificate

Yellow fever vaccine must be given at a registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre. Most NHS GPs are not registered centres — you will need a specialist travel clinic.

→

You want a comprehensive travel health assessment

Specialist travel clinics provide destination-specific risk assessments, malaria advice, and personalised vaccination schedules that go beyond what a standard GP appointment covers.

→

You need malaria tablets

Antimalarial prescriptions for travel are not available on the NHS. Private clinics and pharmacies offer same-day malaria tablet prescriptions at competitive prices.

Frequently asked questions

Which travel vaccinations are free on the NHS?

Some travel vaccines are free on the NHS through your GP practice nurse: hepatitis A, typhoid, cholera (Dukoral), and polio boosters. However, many travel vaccines must be paid for privately, including yellow fever, rabies, Japanese encephalitis, meningitis ACWY, tick-borne encephalitis, and hepatitis B. Malaria tablets are also not available on the NHS for travel purposes.

How much do travel vaccinations cost?

Travel vaccination costs vary by vaccine and provider. A consultation costs £25-50. Individual vaccines range from £30-50 (typhoid, cholera) to £90-110 per dose (Japanese encephalitis). Multi-dose courses (rabies: 3 doses at £50-70 each, hepatitis B: 3 doses at £30-60 each) add up. A full course of travel vaccines for a long-haul trip to Africa or Asia could cost £200-500+.

How far before travel should I get vaccinated?

Ideally 6-8 weeks before departure. Some vaccines need multiple doses over several weeks: rabies requires 3 doses over 28 days, hepatitis B needs 3 doses over 6 months (or an accelerated 3-week course). Yellow fever and hepatitis A need at least 10 days before travel to be effective. Last-minute travellers can still get single-dose vaccines, but some courses may not be completed in time.

Do I need a Yellow Fever certificate?

If travelling to countries requiring proof of yellow fever vaccination — primarily in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical South America — you will need an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP). This is issued at the time of vaccination at a registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre. The certificate is valid for life. Some countries also require it for transit passengers.
