Travel vaccine shortage

Article Date: 8th September 2017

Please be aware that there is currently a global shortage of certain travel vaccines, with some of them due to be out of stock until 2018.  Patients requiring travel advice should still complete a travel form in the usual way, but should be aware that we may not be able to vaccinate them against all that is needed for their destination, and may only be able to give advice before directing them to a specialist travel clinic.  We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause, but trust that patients will appreciate this a national problem and so is beyond our control.
