Private vaccinations?

Hi, new to this country's vaccination system we would like to give our DD2 two vaccinations that here don't belong to the programme -rotavirus (that horrible puking sickness) and chicken box. But how do we go about this, do we just find a private clinic or take her to the GP first to get some kind of referral? DD2 is three months. Thank you for your advice.

You can just google for private vaccinations in your area, or post on mumsnet local and ask others where they go. You don't need a GP referral and you'll be hard pressed to get one because GPs are discouraged from helping you get diff vax from the national programme.
