NHS Forth Valley Travel Health Service
Travelling means different things to different people; backpacking around the world, visiting relatives, trekking the jungle, lounging by the Pool. However, many popular destinations require vaccines or medication to keep you safe.
Some travel vaccines are available free on the NHS to protect against disease being brought into the country.
The service asks travellers to complete a health assessment at least 6 – 8 weeks before departure.
The following websites will give you additional travel advice
