Which Travel Vaccines are Free?
The following travel vaccines are available free on the NHS.
- polio (given as a combined diphtheria/tetanus/polio jab)

- hepatitis A
- cholera
These vaccines are free because they protect against diseases thought to represent the greatest risk to public health if they were brought into the country.

You’ll have to pay for travel vaccinations against (our practice does not provide these vaccinations):
- hepatitis B
- Japanese encephalitis
- meningitis vaccines
- rabies
- tick-borne encephalitis
- tuberculosis (TB)
- yellow fever
Yellow fever vaccines are only available from designated centres. Patients should also speak to these providers regarding all other private vaccine requirements.
