For information about travel clinics see the local practice websites:
Bersted Green (Bognor Regis) www.berstedgreensurgery.co.uk and navigate via services / travel clinics

Usually the Practice Nurse will need notice for the vaccinations. There will be a charge as they will not be paid for by the NHS.
