Getting a jab

[dis00 0]

Afternoon,

Booked an appointment with my nurse to get an MMR jab as none of my records or at my doctors state i've had one even though my mother is adamant. Anyway, I'm aware that the MMR requires a booster jab after four weeks from the initial jab. My query is, if I get the jab next Tuesday and I get my medical within the 4 weeks will I be made to get the booster before my medical is approved? or will the forward it to the London embassy?

Also, if my medical is after 4 weeks from the first jab should i get the booster done at my doctors?

Thanks

Dean

If it's less than a month since you got the MMR you shouldn't need to get it at the medical and your medical will be cleared :-)

Ask your GP about getting a second shot. He probably will say one is sufficient. From my understanding the second shot is mainly to provide measles immunity to the 5% of people who didn't get it after their first shot. It is not in fact a "booster".

If four weeks have not passed since your MMR, there is a box to tick that it is not medically appropriate because of insufficient time interval. You do not have to wait and will be given a waiver. You will never need the shot for immigration purposes. If you can't scheduled the medical before four weeks pass, then you will need the second one. In that case, get it wherever cheapest.
