Hi can anyone help with regard to the vaccination requirements for the schools in Perth, is there anything required in addition to the standard UK ones and if so what are they and how do we go about getting them?

Does the school vacinate or GP? Can we get them done in UK before we leave?

We are arriving in August and wanting to get the kids in school within about 2weeks so want to be all prepared!

Thanks in advance

How old are your children? Schools won't exclude you for not having your vaccinations up to date. Only if there was an outbreak of a particular disease you would perhaps have to withdraw your child if they weren't vaccinated.

they will be 6 & 9 when we arrive.

The only thing they will need to get when you arrive are the Hep B vaccinations. As I said you won't be excluded for not having them as they aren't part of the UK vaccination schedule. If the children haven't had MMR it isn't an issue unless there is an outbreak of MMR then your child will be excluded until risk has passed.

thanks for that northernbird! they have had MMR so just the Hep B needed possibly.
