My doctors charge £19 for a health/vaccination certificate. Not sure if you'd need the evidence for jabs for an admin job but it's the NHS so it wouldn't come as a shock.

You will need these for a job in the NHS, (as well as a course of Hep) as usually the violent/aggressive patients do not check your ID badge to ensure you are a nurse or doctor before attacking you!

Make an appointment to see your practice nurse who will check your records for you. Do not worry if no records can be found relating to childhood immunisations, as this documentation is often found to have gone astray during the transition from paper based to computerised notes. OH dept can do blood tests to check your immunity.

I have been working as an administrator in an NHS clinic as an agency temp for a few weeks now. No one ever asked about my health: should I be concerned?

thanks for the help. just to be clear i need to provide evidence? was not going to bother to be honest.

Can only say that whenever I've had to have a medical pre-employment, the employer has always borne the cost. Seems to me that if the NHS wants "evidence" they should pay.

The questionaire should be a generic one with the expectation that you know what you've been vaccinated against.
