Travel Health
Do you need vaccinations?
Please use the free NHS Scotland website at www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk for personal and specific advice. If you need travel and non-NHS vaccines you should contact a private travel clinic as quickly as possible. Some local contact details are noted below.
We don’t issue prescriptions for ‘calming’ medicines for pre flight nerves or fear of flying. There are well documented hazards why this is inappropriate so don’t ask us to prescribe!
