Heaf test

My son has got a summer job in a meat packing plant and due to the fact that he has not had a BCG vaccine (stopped offering this vaccine 10 or 11 years ago) they want him to have a Heaf test. This test is not offered on the NHS so he needs to pay to have it done privately. Can anyone advise of where does it and how much it costs? I know this seems like a lot of hassle for 8 weeks work ....but 8 weeks is better than no weeks! Thanks for taking time to read.

I don't know what age your son is but as far as I know he can still request the Bcg vaccine from his GP~We are all going to hell and guess who Is driving the bus~*Norn Iron club Member 294* (Hi, we’ve had to remove part of your signature.

Quick update - employer overturned the policy!
My GP does not offer the vaccine as he said my son was not in the high risk group and therefore would have had to attend a private clinic to have had it done.
