You could try Dr. Primavesi - has a website primadoc.co.uk - operates out of Great Portland St in London but I think also may have a surgery outside London. Just a warning: we had a huge wait (months? maybe a year? can't remember now) for mumps jab for dd, and she's now had an antibody test which shows it didn't take! So we've got to do it again!

This issue makes me so cross and the government is deliberately obstructing the importation of the mumps vaccine to try to force everyone to have MMR, which is why there is a countrywide shortage. Then when there is an outbreak of mumps, they blame the parents. Grrrr.
However, mumps is not a serious illness for younger children, so I am waiting it out.

Try here Myermay: Choice at \linkwww.choicehealthcare.co.uk/au_clinic_harleyst.html{} Never tried a link before so hope this one works!

Had our twins singly vaccinated with Choice Healthcare during 2002/3 - no problems at all. However, there have been warnings in the press recently about shortages of vaccines and I don't know if Choice have experienced problems too.

They're in London (but have other clinics in the UK). Particularly helpful that they run a clinic on a Sunday, so my dh didn't have to take time off work for the trip!

My doctor has it, he's called Dr Singer at Parkside Hospital in Wimbledon, call 020 7935 2023 for appts. Dd had hers last week. Expensive though.

Oh s*d it - obviously my technical skills are sorely lacking. First attempt at a link - whilst having my hair 'done' (eye poked out) by 2 yr old dd, at the same time!

Better just log on to www.choicehealthcare.co.uk
and click on the MMR single vaccine bit. They are very helpful and the FAQ's part gives lots of info.
