Vaccination problems

Hey guys, I am going traveling in a couple of months. I saw my doctor who told me they would only be able to give me some vaccinations and the rest would have to be issued from a travel clinic. The doctor sent me a letter explaining the vaccinations I would need, they also enclosed a script for the NHS ones. I spoke with the travel clinic who told me they could not honor the letter from my doctor nor the script or any vaccinations I brought with me. They said I would have to book a risk assessment before they would do anything. I then went back to my doctors, where they booked me an appointment with one of the nurses, who gave me the vaccination from the original script.

I am confused now as I only have some of the vaccinations and dont know where to go to get the remaining vaccinations. Im fine with paying private but I feel im being messed about?

Somebody must know where there is a one stop shop for injections rather than phoning and driving around.

Thanks for listening

    which inoculations are you missing???

    Not every inoculation is free on the NHS and not every practice has a clinic to offer those. When I lived in England, Id see the Nurse, she would work out what I needed, book me in for the NHS and then order the private jabs and book me in for those.

    You need to research yourself what jabs are needed for where and when they need to be given

    Search for a MASTA clinic in a surgery near you. I got mine at Kerrsland Surgery on the Newtownards Road.
