Booster jabs

DS is has his Pre school booster jabs appointment this afternoon. They've asked to bring his red book and the letter that was sent out inviting me to bring to his jabs. DS was born in the UK but we moved abroad when he was very young. He had all his major vaccinations abroad. We moved back to the UK when he was 2 and a bit. Is it worth me bringing the red book? There's nothing written in it as everything is done electronically over there? When we signed up for our local GP practice, I made sure to call our old doctors office and get a record of all the vaccinations he'd had (they're exactly the same as they are in the uk) so can they just the record I gave them on the form I filled out when I signed up to the GP? How do I best explain this to the practice nurse? (My anxiety is going into overdrive convincing me the practice nurse is going to think I'm lying and that he hasn't been vaccinated Confused) thanks all, I know this is silly but my anxiety goes into overdrive wherever DS is concerned.

Just fill in the details in the red book yourself.

HAve you got a print out of his vaccination records from your old GP?

@Seeline do you think they'd mind if I did that? I don't no, the move was very rushed as DH got recalled home on very sort notice.

THey won't know it's you that's filled it in unless oyu tell them. Mine have never had an official stamp or anything, just a couple of scribbled initials.
