Private vaccines against Chickenpox and Hep A/B

[LateNight]

Hi

I'm looking to vaccinate my 18 month old against Hep A & B and Chickenpox. I know these are very different vaccines, but I'm posting them together because neither one is offered by the NHS. Does anyone know where I can have the vaccines administered privately in Tower Hamlets, E14? Or at least anywhere in Central London.

The Hep A & B I know I can request through my GP but there has been a shortage for months and not sure how long it will last.

Thank you!

Never heard of the Hep one, you sure you don't mean meningitis?

I got the chicken pox one for mine. Just google 'chicken pox vaccine private' you'll get loads of options from private clinics.

Chickenpox is widely abailable, I think Boots do men b and acwy but bot sure what age groups for.

All of those can be done at most travel clinics. We had our dc vaccinated at a similar age. No problem.

Not cheap though. About £70 each and there will be boosters

Travel doc is where we do ours. Why the hepatitis?

Thank you all for your replies.
To answer the question why Hep A/B. Hepatitis B vaccination is routinely available as part of the NHS vaccination schedule. It's offered to all babies at 8, 12 and 16 weeks of age. But this only started last year and my baby was too old then and missed this opportunity.
And as for Hep A, it's much more easy to spread. My lo touches everywhere and everything and I rarely get the opportunity to wash his hands before they end up in his mouth. A private GP recommended a while back that after he turns 6 months (or 12 months I can't remember) we get him immunized. But I didn't see the need to do this until now when he regularly walks outside (i.e. outside of his buggy) and touches stuff and still puts his hands in hi mouth. Plus, Hep A and B come in a combined shot so if we do one we might as well do both.

Are you sure you mean Hep B? It is essentially a sexually transmitted disease or through blood or blood products so eg a needle stick injury.

As far as I know it is not routinely given at 8,12 and 16 week vaccinations.

Sorry, my apologies. I've just googled and seen that it is part of the routine vaccinations. I had never heard of that before.

Same Day Doctor does vaccines, based in Canary Wharf. We got DS's BCG done there as we were living in east London and (at the time) the NHS had run out of the vaccination.

Not cheap but they were very efficient.

Why would you need Hep A vaccine if you’re in the UK? It’s pretty rare here and the chances of a baby picking it up through normal daily activities is very low.

If you plan to travel overseas to a risk area you would be able to have the vaccines on the NHS, as travel vaccines.

You’re right in that Hep B is now part of the baby imms schedule, but in theory you should be able to obtain a course at a private travel clinic however supply is very limited and you are unlikely to obtain it for a baby considered low risk.
