Any single vaccine clinics in Hampshire?

Does anyone know of any clinics offering single MMR jabs in or near Hampshire? I was using Direct Health 2000 for my children but they have gone bust and my son needs a Rubella booster.

Thank you.

Lots of the bigger practices do outreach clinics, so you might find one in your area. The Jabs site is a good place to start.

We used Samedaydoctor in Basingstoke for singles measles vax

There is also one in Guildford - Surreygp.com

And there is Choice Healthcare Services in Reading

are Surreygp fairly new? I couldn't find anyone in the Guildford area when DS had his first singles done, so we went to Southampton with Healthchoice UK. He's now due his boosters but Healthchoice have just gone out of business, so will try Surreygp thanks..

Also does anyone know how likely it is that a child will be immune from the first vaccination? I'm wondering whether getting some sort of antibody test might negate the need for DS to have the mumps booster which is not currently available.

Thank you very much. Following your advice I have successfully made an appointment with Surrey GP at Guildford and they were very helpful.

Vaccines are usually about 90-95% successful, based on that I'd be tempted not to do boosters. Not sure about antibody testing - will involve taking blood which is painful. Also despite the hype mumps is not a particularly risky disease.

ok thanks - useful info.

Hi - we used samedaydoctor Hampshire as well - they're in Basingstoke. Really helpful. They can't get the mumps at the mo, but nowhere can.
Look at their website.
