Louzie Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hi everyone, I have just read that from Jan 2016 benefits will be cut for parents who have not vaccinated their children. What proof can I bring of my children's immunisation record? Will their red book issued by health visitor suffice or do I need doctors letters? many thanks in advance.

calNgary Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 You don't need Dr's letters (unless they have a specific medical condition), your Red Book holds all the info they need. Hope this helps Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca10 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 This is one thing I hadn't thought of. Thanks for the info! And I now won't throw out the immunisation books!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louzie Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Oops now I'm worried I won't be able to find all 4 red books - all our belongings are currently in a shipping container on their way to Oz. wonder if I should get drs letters to make sure.

calNgary Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 If your not sure, just ask the Dr's to print them out, they may charge you for doing it though. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Also remember there are extra immunisations here that children do not get in UK so you will have to get them done as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
