MMR vaccination proof required
25 Answers
Hope someone can help.
My work start-date has been put back because Occupational Health want proof that I've had my MMR vaccine. I contacted my family GP who have no record of it. My mother cannot remember the name or address of the GP with whom I was registered as a baby, only that it was in Hackney.
Any ideas?

There has never been a monovalent mumps vaccination programme in the UK. The MMR vaccine, introduced in the UK in 1988, replaced the mixed Measles/ Rubella vaccination programme, and introduced a national mumps vaccination programme at the same time.
If you are a health worker with a direct contact with patients, especially infants, elderly or immunocompromised, then it is beholden upon you to ensure you take up all offered vaccination programmes. Personal choice should be subordinate to the well- being of the patient and the protection of the health worker.

@ NoMercy - Just to be clear, my second para was not aimed at you :) - it was a response to cathfromsaurons post.
You are in a bind I am afraid, NoM - for your Measles/ Rubella vaccination history, and for the BCG. A friend of mine recently had to show evidence of bcg for a post with MSF, and had to undergo an emergency vaccination schedule when she was unable to comply - thats about all I can suggest, I am afraid......
