The best way to get the right answer is to call the doctor's office and ask when you arrange the appt. If you've already arranged the appt, it's fine to call back just to ask this question. I am quite sure the answer is yes to both giving blood and having to have the right vaccinations, but someone at the office should be able to confirm that for you. You weren't doing anything wrong - it's just that no one who really knows the answer saw your post yesterday.

Children under 14 don't have to have their blood tested at the medical in London. They also don't have to have an x-ray. They are given the most basic checkup and that's it (which is why their fee is cheaper). My son was 12 at the time of his medical in October 2006 and this was most certainly the case then.

With regards to vaccinations they will need HepB, which is normally a course of three injections over a period of three months. I recommend getting these inoculations at your local GP surgery - much cheaper than at the medical. Take proof of these inoculations to the medical with you (and your own) and there should be no problem.
