Some vaccinations can be provided on the NHS but some may need to be provided at private Travel Health Clinics. You can find local Travel Clinics on line who will advise you on the vaccinations required and the cost
Some courses of vaccinations take two or three months to complete so please take this into consideration when planning your journey.
