Vaccinations
Trying to slowly gather information that's not time sensitive so I phoned my GP to ask for my immunisation records
GP say the earliest vaccination they have for me is a tetanus in 2014
then refer me to "child health"
call them and they only deal with 0-19 yr olds and refer me back to GP
GP receptionist get out my archived notes and tells me no records
been with this Dr my whole life
what do I do??
Do I ask for repeats? And if so what ones is it?
diptheria
whooping cough
polio
tetanus and MMr?

Re: Vaccinations
Here is the chart that'll tell you which vaccinations you need: https://uk.usembassy.gov/wp-content/...cine_chart.pdf
If you can't find records at all and need to get them re-done, I would get the ones you're missing through your GP instead of at the medical. It'll be way cheaper.

Re: Vaccinations
Yeah so if I ask GP for boosters for
Diptheria
tetanus
and whooping cough (pertussis)
and am waiting to hear back on being "allowed" MMR
chicken Pox? We don't get here and I've had it
is it worth getting a flu jab

If it's flu season then you'll be required to have flu shot.

Re: Vaccinations
Since you are in a country where childhood vaccinations are the norm, you will not have to duplicate childhood vaccinations as they assume you have already had them. Tetanus is given once every ten years so you had one recently so that should be good. Yes, you can get the chickenpox vaccine now in the UK. It is not normally given, but if you have had it as a child you will have the antibodies in your system so you can be checked for it.
