IGP offers a range of travel vaccines suitable for those travelling and/or working abroad. Our vaccinations are carried out in healthcare registered clinics by experienced Practice Nurses and GP's on request.
* Please note that vaccine cost is the cost per dose to have the vaccine with a nurse and not a GP. There is an additional fee of £25 for the vaccine to be administered by a GP. The number of doses required indicates the number of doses for a standard course. It is strongly advised that you leave plenty of time to complete the course before your trip. Some vaccination courses, with more than one vaccine required, may take up to a month or longer and many vaccinations will not become fully effective until weeks after the course completion. The brand of vaccine we supply may also vary depending on the current supply status of a particular vaccine.

Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent these life-threatening diseases.
The DTP vaccine is a highly effective combination vaccine designed to protect against these three diseases. It is administered as part of the routine immunization schedule for children and as a booster dose for adults. The vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies, providing long-term protection. Boosters are typically recommended every 10 years for tetanus and diphtheria, ensuring continuous immunity.
