mmr catch up for 15 year olds

[southeastastra]

is this standard? i thought he'd had both doses years ago, but the letter says only one recorded.

I thought that's waht the little red book was for...did they have them 15 years ago?

he had a little blue book, i'll have to search for it

The nurse at the hospital the other day (ds broke finger) said that there's a catchup of all vaccinations at 15.

Did you hear from the school or from the GP?

This is interesting. Been talking about vaccinations with young colleague (age 21) at work today. She thought that you had to have a booster MMR at 15 also. I have a 13 and 15yr old, is this something schools are handling? Wouldn't be keen on another MMR myself, as both DS's have had both jabs & a 'measleoid virus' at around age 2 & 4.

There is a catch up campaign nationally as many of the older teenagers only had 1 dose and need 2.

You can ask them to double check records though as our surgery found a computer recording issue as vaccinations can be recorded as Stage 0&1, 1&2. 1&B (B=Booster), 0 &B etc etc and the searches sometimes cannot capture all the correct options!

ds was called for one, it turned out it was just if they had only had a MR so not the full MMR

I have just received the consent form for DD1s Tetanus, Diptheria and Polio boosters. She is 15 and in year 10. The form states that this completes the vaccination programme. It doesn't mention MMR. Sounds like it wasn't noted when your DS had his pre school booster.

heard from gp mumble i'm sure he'd had two, i can't seem to find his book yet, i know it's around somewhere.

Do girls still have rubella injection at high school,i know tb isn't given as routine any more

I had it in about year 10/11. It's pretty standard.

oh dear forgot about this. posting so i'll remember to look for book
