Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)

Shingles
Shingles is a common condition that causes a painful rash. It can sometimes lead to serious problems such as long-lasting pain, hearing loss or blindness.
Pneumonia
Pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs, usually caused by an infection. Most people get better in 2 to 4 weeks, but babies, older people, and people with heart or lung conditions are at risk of getting seriously ill and may need treatment in hospital.
The risk of developing Pneumonia can be easily reduced with vaccination.
Travel
We are providing NHS travel vaccinations at Hillcrest Surgery free of charge. These include Polio, Typhoid, Hep A and Cholera. We require you to make an appointment to talk to our nurses at least 6 weeks prior to your date of travel.
The nurse will discuss your travel plans during a 20 minute assessment. They can then let you know what vaccines you need (if any) and when.
