United Kingdom travel health
Required is not recommended: the first is what the border asks about, the second is what a clinic would suggest. Both, for United Kingdom, then the number to dial and what care costs a visitor. Applies to every guide in United Kingdom: London, Edinburgh, Bath, Cornwall, Scottish Highlands.
Required to enter
Nothing. No vaccination certificate is asked for at the border.
Recommended
- Routine vaccinations up to date
Emergency number
999 or 112
Care for visitors
Excellent and cheap
Emergency treatment in A&E is free to everyone regardless of nationality. Follow-up care, admission and repatriation are not, so insurance still matters. Pharmacists can treat many minor problems without an appointment.
The general rules — clinic timing, water, mosquitoes, insurance — are in travel health tips.
