Can a grandparent take a child to be vaccinated?

[tryingtobemarypoppins]

Long story but I may need to ask my mum to take DS......would this be aloud?

If she has his red book, I can't see why not.

I took a minded child for a vaccination, so I doubt there'll be a problem with a relative!

THANK-YOU !!!

Anyway else had any problems doing this?

My mum took my nephew.

It's allowed I'm sure BUT I think you have to have a letter signed by parents to say you've agreed to vacination or something (as you need to give overt permission, esp given the furore around the MMR - imagine the situation where a grandparent took a child to be vacinated against parents will...)

My dr asked my nanny to take along a letter from me giving permission.

There's a note up ion our Gps practice about it... I'd ring them

I checked whether my mum could take ds if I couldn't get there, they said yes but I needed to write a letter of consent
