Travel vaccinations
An overall risk-based assessment of individual travel health risk should be provided before travel so a comprehensive package of advice and care can be best planned and delivered. Robust, complete, risk assessment underpins the pre-travel health consultation.
Below is a link to an example form which shows the type of detail required to inform risk assessment and to record risk management. This form can be found on the National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC)/Travel Health Pro website (TravelHealthPro is the website comprising the travel health resources of NaTHNaC).
