Please complete your travel forms as soon as possible, ideally 6 to 8 weeks before travelling.  Travel form (PDF) or Travel form (Word Document).

Please be advised that we are unable to accept any travel forms with less than 8 weeks notice to your travel date.  If you find yourself in this situation, then we advise you to seek advice from an alternative travel clinic such as Boots (visit their website), Wimborne Travel Clinic , CityDoc or Masta Travel Health. 

At your appointment our Nurse will advise you on the immunisations you require and arrange a schedule for carrying these out. Please note that advice for malaria changes from time to time, so please visit this website so that you can keep up to date with the latest advice: Fit for Travel.

TRAVEL UPDATE

From 1st April 2024 we will continue to run our travel service and offer NHS travel vaccinations- these are Tetanus, diphtheria and polio (in one injection), Hepatitis A, Typhoid and Cholera if indicated for your travel destination.

We have however had to review offering the private travel vaccinations of Hepatitis B, Rabies, Japanese B Encephalitis and Tick Borne Encephalitis. Regretfully we have decided to suspend this service for the time being. While we realise this may cause some inconvenience, with increasing health needs of our Practice Population and rising costs and delivery charges from the manufacturers, which we would have to pass on to patients, we felt this is the right decision.

Yellow Fever

The Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres  enables you to search for local Yellow Fever Centres, which include Fordington Surgery, Boots in Dorchester, CityDoc Clinic in Dorchester and clinics in Weymouth, Bridport, Sherborne and Sturminster Newton.   

Charges

Vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio and Typhoid can be prescribed and so are free of charge.
