Time for a rant! I booked an appointment at a well known national chain of chemists to get the MMR vaccine as my GP wasn't at all willing to give it to me, free or for payment (in fact they weren't even able to understand that it wasn't for holiday purposes but that's another story...).

So, I booked an appointment online, called the store a couple of days a go to make sure everything was ok and took time off work to attend the appointment. I get there today and I'm met with "Oh... the pharmacist is on holiday. Someone should have called you". Yeah well, nobody did!!

:ranting:

I'm getting fed up with this vaccination business now, it's proving to be a right old pain! Am I right in thinking I can get the MMR done at the medical, along with the Tdap I was going to get there anyway? I think there is some business about MMR being given in two shots a month apart, but Knightsbridge give you a waiver if you don't have time for shot number 2 before your interview?

Is my understanding of that correct?

Yes, it's fine. I got my MMR done there, I wasn't expecting it but my GP said I was up to date for my MMR and I wasn't. Knightsbridge were fine. I bet I know which pharmacy, I had my Tdap and my Hep B (for work) done there. I would name and shame them :P

They are very good at Knigtsbridge, if you are worried just call them and they will let you know.
