Is it true? Single Jabs for MMR, Gp surgery just told me that..... you cant get them any more???

[mrspink27]

Just rang to cancel my dd2's appointment which has just come through for MMR, my dd1 had singles and we want to do the same with dd1, the receptionist just said oh I didnt think you could get single vaccines any more, no one is doig them....

now is this just an ill informed preson, or is this the case???

I am in the West Sussex area.... went to Brighton before....

Anyone???

TIA

Afraid it's true, single jabs are not available on the NHs, you can get them done privately, but obviously you have to pay.

fuzzy wuzzy - we had them done privately with dd1, but receptionist seemed to be saying that singles werent available at all anywhere!

receptionist wrong - my nephew has them just this saturday gone at private clinic

what we were told was that as govt doesn't support single jabs they are telling people that private clinics are not liscenced for private jabs, and therefore there is no reassurance that private jab vacine is in date and effective

don't know how true this is

dd1 had them done seperately privately, we went to the holborn clinic.

My dd2 is in the middle of a course from direct health 2000. At our GP's they just say they like to know the children have these vaccinations, which ever way the children have them. We go to the outreach clinic at the Thistle (or whatever they call it now) in Brighton.

fuzzywuzzy - where is the place in holborn. i want single jabs for my dd, but not sure where to get them done properly

Sorry I've been on and off MN all day. Dd's under the weather.

Mommie the address for the clinic is;
The Holborn Medical Centre
64 Lambs Conduit Street
London WC1N 3NA
020-7405 7544 or 020-7430 0811
