Vaccination record

Anyone know if you can get a copy of your vaccination record in the UK. I'm living out of the country and haven't been to a GP in the UK for over a decade but it is really important I can get proof of the common vaccinations, otherwise I will have to do them all over again.

I got one recently from my GP even though I've not been there for years, just phoned up and they printed one off for me to collect. Obviously getting them collected might be an issue for you, but I wasn't asked for ID when collecting mine so someone else might be able to get them for you.

I hope my parents could collect.

Yeah, it's pretty standard that Universities want you to bring these to show.

Just request it from your last doctor.

Request from your GP, I got mine in about 3 days and I don't recall having to pay a fee.

Cool, thanks everyone. Don't want to have to do all the vaccinations all over again.

You will most likely have to pay - scan them in for the next time.

My GP had no record for some reason, and they just gave me the rest saying it would do no harm.

They should be able to. You will need to write a letter of consent to them, confirming yours and your parent's identity before they'll release any information to a third party. That was the case for getting my brother's record.

Got mine from my GP before i had my medical to come here. I think there is a charge but its at the doctors discretion, i didn't have to pay.

Thanks, will no doubt have to have some vaccines and boosters anyway but I want to try to minimize what I have to do.
