Visa Medicals no longer requiring urine sample for over 24 year olds, blood for over 44 year olds.

I'm 49 and did have to give both samples in June but thought it was odd that the doctor didn't examine me closely as it were, because some lassie had posted a different experience recently.

 

Do they knock any money off their price then? 🤔

Still charged me £440 (£350 for the medical + £90 for two jabs I was missing) so they certainly aren't passing the savings onto us!

Did they ask for proof of Covid vaccination? 

Yes they did, but only to populate the state department immunisation form you take with you to the use. They said it was not yet obligatory.

Thats strange as i asked my GP for Tetanus and MMR a few weeks ago and i was able to receive the jabs without any issue. It must vary from practice to practice maybe. I told them it was for my visa and they just let me have the jabs straight away. 

That's interesting, I'll see if I can say the same thing to my GP to get the Tetanus booster. Is the MMR jab a requirement if you had the jab as a child?

Tetanus/diphtheria can be no longer than 10 years ago. Revaxis is the drug usually given for that requirement.
Mumps/measles/rubella is two in your life. Infant and childhood shots count.

 

NHS practices vary on if they will give shots free. They aren’t required to for immigration.

And yet they haven't reduced their prices for doing less work for certain ages!!!

I had my medical on the 18th and was informed that I didn't need to give a urine sample as I wasn't a high risk for catching whatever they test urine for, I am in my thirties. I was asked about my Covid vaccine status and this was noted on my list of immunisations.

The exam itself was thorough they checked my skin, eyes, did the chest X-ray, blood pressure, felt my stomach, checked my joint mobility, they also asked some questions about my medical records from my GP. That was pretty much it.
