It's not wasting your doctors time to get holiday vaccinations and most are free. I think that I've only ever had to pay for Malaria tablets & Yellow Fever. What is wasting time and money is going overseas and returning with something nasty that was preventable.

Indeed.

As in my earlier post, I had my vaccinations without without seeing my doctor.

Interesting, I wonder which NHS Trust you fall within? Down here in the Thames valley very few are free. I got a typhoid booster and a Dip/Tet/Polio booster from the practice, but had to pay for Hep B and a couple of others needed for Russia and China.

I’m in the London borough of Bexley and have had many jabs over the years. Yellow fever is the only one I’ve paid my doctor for and malaria tablets are paid to the chemist.

I once needed something in a hurry (Polio?) and had to get it done privately near work as I couldn’t get to the doctor and that cost me.
