Ah, thanks, that's good to know. My GP is working six weeks out for appts and I'm two weeks from med visa appointment, so I think I might need to abandon hope of GP assisting me here and just stump up for whatever jabs become necessarily. But it's reassuring to know it's not unusual to need multiple jabs and it won't slow things!

Yeah, I've consulted the list and know I don't need (for example) the meningitis, rota and pneumo jabs because of my age. That still leaves me with TDAP/P, hepatitis, MMR, varicella (not given in the UK routinely so I was expecting to need to get this one) etc. It's just a lot to do in one day and I'm fretting that it'll slow my application.

Hey everyone, I'm midway through the application for an IR1 and at the stage of attending my visa medical and document review (in two weeks) followed by my interviews (two further weeks). I'm having a lot of trouble obtaining my vaccine records (except COVID, which I have x 3). The majority of my required vaccines were administered in the early 90s and while I was there, I was under 2 and have no recollection, let alone records. My parents don't recall being given physical records and if they were, they don't have them (we even checked my red book - nada!). None of the NHS apps (either official NHS apps or Patient Access) have records for my vaccinations except COVID, even the more recent ones done in the 00s. On the advice of my GP surgery, I filed a Subject Access Request for my full medical records and last night (after the full 28 days) they gave me up to 2015. This doesn't cover the relevant period. I don't now have time to file another Subject Access Request before my Medical appt and I have a strong suspicion that even if I did, the NHS does not have my handwritten vaccination records from 1993. I know I can get the jabs there, but I'm going to need so many simultaneously (an entire childhood's worth, basically the full list required by the US) that I'm concerned they won't be able to complete them all in one appointment and it will set my other appointments at Nine Elms back. Has anyone else faced similar? Any suggestions on where else I can try to find my medical records? My other potential plan is to find a travel clinic that can start doing them ASAP and take those records to my Visa Medical, rather than risking doing them all on the day. (In case anyone asks, yes, I'm extremely confident that I was definitely actually vaccinated! My mum works in healthcare so she's very pro vaccinations. I just can't prove it based on available records.)
