Our NHS Travel Vaccines Short Course is part of the Health Academy Short Course series and provides clinicians with the essential travel health and immunisation knowledge needed to safely and confidently deliver all vaccines available on the NHS for travel. This focused programme covers vaccine eligibility, disease risks, dosing schedules, administration guidance, contraindications, and current UK recommendations—making it ideal for anyone involved in supporting NHS-funded travel health services.
Overview of course structure and learning objectives
Purpose of the NHS-funded travel vaccination programme
For each disease, learners are guided through:
Understanding NHS entitlement
Which travellers qualify for each NHS vaccine
Travel patterns and trip types covered
When private vaccination is required instead
Includes practical examples such as:
Links to:
NHS policy documents
Multiple-choice assessment to consolidate learning and confirm competence
Yes, you will receive a certificate upon successful completion of the course.
Assessment is completed through integrated quizzes and a final online assessment.
This course aligns with UKHSA and NaTHNaC guidance on NHS travel vaccination. However, clinicians must complete supervised practice in their workplace and should only deliver vaccinations independently when both they and their employer are confident in their competence.

this course was informative, and gave me a good refresher update. more information on the 5ts would have been good for diphtheria, tetanus, and polio.
i would recommend this course to my colleagues.

Very comprehensive, but not up to date on discontinuation of combined Hep A and Typhoid vaccines as Viatim is no longer available.
