Medical - Vaccinations required?

[UKLDNChris 2]

Folks,

 

Just got my medical records through with the following details:

 

28/08/1997 Measles mumps and rubella booster vaccination 

22/06/2000 Single meningitis C vaccination 

14/07/2006 Low dose diphtheria, tetanus and inactivated polio vaccination

 

What are the thoughts on what I might need for my K1 medical (and indeed the AOS) given how long ago these were? Should I book something in with my GP before the visa medical?

Cheers,

Chris

Required vaccinations for over 18s are as follows:

Td or Tdap - Tetanus/diptheria/pertussis or get DT, DTP or DtaP and it will be accepted for AOS also. The latest shot must be no longer than 10 years ago or you need a booster. If you have a record of receiving pertussis, then the Td is okay for the booster.

• MMR - (if born in 1957 or later)-Mumps/measles/rubella. It's two doses in your life, but if you get the first dose, and 4 weeks haven't passed by your medical, they will waive the second dose for "insufficient time interval". If you only had one dose as a child, get a second one before the medical.
• Varicella - Not routinely given in the UK . A history of having chickenpox excuses you from the shot. They take your word for it at the visa medical exam.
• Influenza – Required during flu season only, October 1 through March 31. This was a new recommendation dated November 2010 for all ages over 6 months. Older lists will say flu shots for over age 50. It changed. The list on the London embassy website is out of date since 2009. Don’t follow it.

28/08/1997 Measles mumps and rubella booster vaccination 

 Need a record of two MMRs so need another 

 

22/06/2000 Single meningitis C vaccination 

Don't need for immigration

 

14/07/2006 Low dose diphtheria, tetanus and inactivated polio vaccination

 Need another Td because this was more than 10 years ago. Don't need the polio part.

 

Additional on adult list:

Flu- not flu,season so waived

Varicella- gets waived if you tell the clinic you had chickenpox
