Proof of vaccinations

[ChasUno 101]

Quick question here. I've now had all my vaccines done, including the MMR booster (got that done yesterday). As far as the AOS requirements go, I am 100% up to date.

I asked my doctors surgery for proof that I have received all the recent vaccines, and they gave me a choice. I could have either a print out showing the vaccines and dates administered, and have that print out stamped with my doctors surgery details, (showing the list of doctors, address and phone number). Or I could have an official letter, on the practice headed paper, showing the same details and signed by my doctor. The stamped print out is free, the official letter is £16.

I opted for the print out with the surgery stamp on it, as saving every little penny helps! However, what has everyone else done when supplying these details at the Knightsbridge medical? Is a doctors stamped print out sufficient, or do I need a signed letter from my doctor on headed paper?

Any advice appreciated!

Yes. Knightsbridge will take just about anything. They need the dates of course, but it can be a printout with stamp, no stamp, your little red book of childhood vax, hand scrawled, signed, not signed.

Thanks for the confirmation Nich-Nick

Yes, the print-out clearly shows the vaccine names (Priorix 1 and Revaxis 1), what they immunise against (Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Diphtheria, Polio, Tetanus) and the dates that they were administered (28th April and MMR booster on 2nd June). I also have the earlier letter from my doctors showing all the vaccines I've had between Oct '69 and Jan '97.

Sorted!

That's perfect. We have to the same vaccine document for my fiance ready to go.

My fiance's GP literally gave every single vaccination that was missing (e.g., Hep A & B are is definitely a good one to get if you are missing it). The doctor said just to make certain there was no complications (with immigration/health) in the future. But getting those are not really necessary; however, I do recommend to get every vaccine available as it's a good idea for your own safety too.

So what is the exact list of the vaccination that we require? The guide for London on this forum only states 4 of them, but is that up to date? please, advise

Yes it is correct.

And the most you likely need is two

You can have varicella waived because you had chickenpox.

you can have influenza waived because it is currently not flu season.
