medical records

[simonandjulie 0]

I've been having a hard time locating my records for the jabs I had as a youngster.

The last thing I've been told was that the records are destroyed after 25 years.

Does this mean I have to take all the jabs again in Knightsbridge? Anyone else had difficulty in sourcing their immunisation records?

Just have them all redone at your local GP's office thats what I did and so did many others on this site.

Go to the GP with a list of the jabs that you require and they will do them, if you wait to have them done at Knightsbridge you will be charged for them atleast at the GP's they are free or alot cheaper that waiting till ya medical.

When you have had them done ask your doctor for a vaccination report (mine is a international vaccine record card)

Good luck

Was it your Doctor that told you the records were destroyed after 25 years???

I'm old and my doctors had all my records & the surgery nurse tracked them down for me, she filled out a nice little blue booklet saying when i had them, then she gave me the ones i needed, which were tetanus booster, MMR which you will probably need as "older" people in UK dont have this as a child!!

Good Luck!!

EDITED to say.....not that i think your OLD

Well, I'm 32 so judge for yourself as to whether I'm old or not

They have the TB and tetannus record only.

A very nice receptionist spent a quite considerable amount of time trying to locate my records but could only to be advised they were destroyed.

I can go on Tuesday to get the ones done I need. That's quite a few jabs by the look of the list. I'll be like a teabag when they've finished!!

You are only a little younger than me and all I had done were the MMR and tetannus (which also included the polio and diptheria dose)

Right, I see.

I was expecting a number of jabs equivalent to the list on the sheet, perhaps 10+ ... I'm much more comfortable knowing it will only be a few jabs.

Thanks again
