Immunisation Issues!

from what i understand, from the information i was sent by the agency

the kids need it but not him however i may be wrong as things change all the time

He will be pleased!! As will the bank balance, was going to be expensive!! Does he get out of having the MMR as well then??

as madwife says, he wil probably need MMR. We did as we hadnt had the disease, and were too old to have ever had a mumps vaccine!

My husband only needed MMR and Td he was dead pleased :uhoh21: he detests anything to do with needles i think i will have to drug him for the medical as they need to take blood lol

I was told we all needed hep B I was already covered but my daughter age 20 & my hubby both had it done with the GP

ive just had a new bit of information about imms this is what it says for adults...

over the age of 19 for visa requirements, not employment

Td

MMR

varicella (not available here)

hep B is required up to 19 years of age you can attend the interview having started the course of 3 injections so long as you have proof of starting.

hope this helps

O, well to late now they have had them done, I won't tell them though coz they both hate needles & were not happy they had to have them in the first place, lol. Still it wont hert them to be protected:D

i quite agree, better to be safe!

personally i dont think the chart is very clear on the website, maybe that is just my interpretation of it lol

According to info on US Embassy website Re: immuns, if born after 1956 you need MMR. My hubby was born 1954 so we're presuming then that he doesn't need MMR. I've had it and so have kids.

My hubby and the kids have had Heb B Inj. (£60 each at our GPs) He says if the kids need it he is having it too because there must be an issue with it in US.

We just had titrates done with the GP for MMR my GP did not want to charge us but the NHS lab refused to process them without payment as they said we were all adults & it was not to detect illness. It cost £60 each & 3 of us had to have them done £180 in total. still I've heard it costs more if you need the shots when you get to the medical so better safe than sorry.
