If so, are they available on the NHS?

No you don't. We've been to Turkey a few times, never needed vaccinations.

BarbraDear · 14/09/2018 21:54

We needed them when we went a few years ago.

BarbraDear · 14/09/2018 21:54

And yes, they were through the NHS.

No, you definitely don’t need any vaccinations.

And i don’t think travel vaccinations are available on the nhs....

Just checked that site, it was definitely the tetanus ones we had and they were definitely available on the NHS but we are in Northern Ireland so could be a little different if you are in England etc.

Been twice and never needed them.

The first time I went my GP made me have a diphtheria one and 2 others

My GP surgery recommended tetanus and Hep A. Both of those are free on the NHS.
