HV told to get my DCs the BCG vaccination now. How do I get one for a 2-year old?

When DC1 was small HVs told me that the BCG was not necessary in where I live (outer London). Two years later I was told that it is higly recommended to get children vaccinated and DC2 was referred right away for a jab. However. DC2 is now nearly three and health visitors don't vaccinate him anymore, nor does the GP or the hospital. What can I do? Where do they vaccinate children? Many thanks in advance, really worried now as HVs said TB is spreading fast.

Your GP/HV should be able to advise you

BCG is subject to postcode lottery and in some boroughs they only vax the babies not older kids
