ABOUT CITYDOC

Travel and Specialty Vaccinations

CityDoc opened its first clinic in 2006, in Moorgate, central London. We have since expanded rapidly to meet the needs of our busy clients, aiming to have clinics within all the populous UK towns/cities. The clinical staff are all trained by the CityDoc Medical Director and are supported by a team of experienced general practitioners, to assist with complex cases for example involving clients with significant chronic medical conditions or those undertaking high risk travel.

Our practitioners use Travax (an up to date NHS travel health resource designed for health care experts) to access the very latest destination specific advice. We see clients from all ages, but certain vaccines will only be suitable for specific age groups. Please see our individual vaccine pages, for detailed information regarding the restrictions, contractions, interactions and schedules for the various jabs.

We have developed a comprehensive FAQ section for each individual vaccine, so our clients can be fully informed prior to attending for the consultation regarding potential suitability issues. Additionally if you have a query, please use the enquiries form.
