UK Vaccination Records

[katieflossom 54]

Got my DTP done this morning in fact, and the lovely nurse just printed my full vaccination record out there and then (for free) after she added in today's DTP to the list. Another form down!

My question is though - I am moving house next month, so the address that's at the top of the vaccination records will be 'old' by the time I come round to my medical. Will I need to get another print out once I am in my new address?! (Hope not...)

I don't know if having your old address on your vaccination print out would be an issue or not? My vaccination print out had my maiden name on it instead of my married name and they didn't question it. I wouldnt think it would be a problem. Perhaps you could give them a bell?

Thanks for the response - who would I call, the medical office in Knightsbridge?

The address doesn't matter as long as it has your name and some indication that it came from a doctor office---letterhead, stamped, nurse sign, doctor sign, office name prints at top....

It could be an old shot record form your Mum had in a drawer from 3 addresses ago, plus a new one adding shots from last week, plus a flu shot paper from Tesco. Knightsbridge will combine them onto the one DS-3025 form.

One last thing on vaccinations .....

I expect to have my medical sometime over the summer (i.e non flu season) but will probably be travelling after October 1st which I reckon is in the new flu season. Is this likely to present any sort of issue when I AOS ? I'll have the official record for my other other vaccinations as part of the medical exam but won't have any "official" record of flu vaccination. I'm aware that I can get a flu jab easily (and cheaply) enough in the US but was just checking there were no gotchas.

I just got mine printed out by the receptionist. Its entiteld "Full patient print" and has a long list of all my vaccinations since birth, at the bottom it has my name, patient ke, NHS number and a "code" aswell as my DOB, but it has no doctors address or signature, will this be ok?

I' m sure Knightsbridge is pretty familiar with what the printouts look like. Probably just fine

My mum managed to find my baby health book with a page of dated immunisations and tucked inside it are two forms from when I was at secondary school; consent forms my parents signed and at the bottom the record of the injections in question (BSG and booster for Tetanus/Diphtheria and Polio). From the reading I have done on here, I'm led to believe these documents serve just as well as a print out from the doctors and the info therein can be brought together on the form Knightsbridge fill in and give me a copy of...?

Due to my going to visit my fiance for several weeks, soon, I'm not going to be back at my GP until early August to sort this stuff out, but I think rather than hand over their charge of £20 I may just go armed with baby book etc to my medical, whenever it ends up being...

BCG! Not BSG. I think the heat's gone to my brain

Bacille de Calmette–Guérin - still remember that from school which was a fair few years ago. Quite an involved vaccination as I remember

Do you know that for US immigration Tdap or DTP is Tetanus/Diptheria/Pertussis?

P is not for Polio.

And you need something in the Tdap, DTP, Td range no longer than 10 years ago, so check your dates.

Cr*p you're right, I had read that (both). To the doctors upon my return it is, then!

Well just got back from my GP (practice nurse). She gave me the appropriate tdap but wouldn't give me an MMR before she'd checked my paper records which (to my surprise) they actually do have in the basement. So she's going to call me. Now I just need to double check if there's a time expiry on MMR because if I did have it , it was a long time ago being born in '57.

And there was no charge - I will sooo miss the NHS.

It helped that the nurse may well be moving to Seattle with her partner.

I am under the impression that there is no expiry on the MMR, you just have to of had two lots of it (one would be a booster...)
