Do you need vaccinations?

The delivery of travel vaccines in Scotland is changing and is moving away from General Practice from April 2022. The NHS Travel Clinic Hub is based at the Regional Infectious Diseases Unit at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh. Please arrange an appointment by calling 0131 537 2823 for a travel consultation at least 6-8 weeks before departure if possible. Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks.

More information on the NHS Lothian Travel Hub can be found here.
