Childhood vaccinations query

Hey all!

A bit of a specific question. My husband and I are dual citizens of England and Australia.

We are expecting our second baby boy in December. Our plan is to head over to the UK for 6 months as part of my maternity leave. We will head over after our Son has had his 4 month vaccines. As a result, we will need to somehow find a way to get him vaccinated for his 6 month vaccination but I note the schedule is different between UK and Australian childhood vaccines. 

 

Has anyone had experience with this? I imagine we may need to call a GP practice / walk in centre and ask if it is possible to get the exact vaccines that Australia follow and no doubt have to pay privately for it?

 

Thank for your help!

All good. Ignore my post.... The same vaccine is given. The 6 in 1 Diphtheria, Polio, pertussis, influenza, tetanus, hep B 🙂 I'll just call the local GP surgeries once there and ask the process. Last time I was in the UK though we couldn't access a GP. We had to go to the walk in centre. More than likely it'll be the same again!
