Vaccine for baby in Glasgow?

4 replies

I am trying to get my dd (9months) vaccinated because my sister (who we live with) has a immune disorder but cannot get the vaccine herself due to allergies.

I have tried a few places but can't find anybody who will do the jab under a year old.

Does anybody know anywhere i could get it for her? Has anybody had any luck getting a private pescription form their GP?

I thought that people who live with immune supressed people could have the vaccine on the NHS. Check with your GP. Im sure if you explain, if they have any theyll let you have it.

I have tried the GP. They are hesitating because me living with my sister isn't a pernament arrangement an there is no 'proof'. I maybe just got a grumpy receptionist though. I am going to try going in to really push for it.

Can you get yourself to Edinburgh? Medical alternative in the Dean Village (15 mins or so walk from Haymarket Station) will do it for £60, £30 per jab, as they need 2 of them

Dont be fobbed of by receptionists! Speak to the doctor on the phone if you can.
