Polio booster jab for children age 1-9 in London

Is it not a case of better safe than sorry? At present, as far as I know, there is no great danger of an outbreak. A booster campaign might also catch some children who for any reason have not been fully immunised already.

oh yes, i'm all for vaccinations, boosters etc.
i guess i was going on the snippets i'd heard on radio news over the last few months.
there is quite an informative discussion over on MN.
i'm keen to have any vaccinations going myself.
and willing to pay for it.
on MN they say there is normally a booster for children aged 14.
i've often wondered how i would know what vaccinations i've had.
i definitely only had bcg at school, aged ?13.
cert no polio booster.
i also was too old for mmr.
i asked a doc about whether i could have mmr now but she said no point, that i'm too old now, which i didn't understand. maybe i'll ask in a pharmacy.

welbeck, could it be that there is no point in your having the MMR as you are practically certain to have had measles, mumps and rubella by now, and assuming you are of usual GN age, not likely to get rubella in pregnancy anyway?

I can see which vaccines I have had on my medical records on my surgery website.

Yes you should be able to access your records.
The polio vaccine was a sugar lump or syrup. I lived in Hull which had a huge vaccination programme and was the first place to give the oral vaccine. I remember being very narked because I had had the injection and then was given the oral dose.
It was 1961 www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/health/how-a-heroic-mass-vaccination-programme-saved-children-of-hull-from-paralysis-in-an-explosive-polio-outbreak-in-1961-3038681

Polio/tetanus/ not sure of the third one, vaccination is routinely being given to over 65s in France. They say it should be given every 10 years.
