Immunisation

[Hevs333]

Hi I wanted if somebody could give me the link to a PDF I can take to the doctor in uk for immunisations I need...I know I have had had a pneumonia jab over 10 years ago I was told by my doctor I don’t need one again but apparently I believe you need one every five years but can’t find the page I’m looking for thanks in advance

I realize that it may sound contradictory to what you've been reading at this HU-CLL regarding the need to stay updated with your immunizations, BUT ... if your only issue is 'topping-up' an immunization you took years ago THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE VISITING YOUR DOCTOR'S OFFICE.

1. There are sick people in the office or ER. You don't need to be in their company unless you have a medical emergency.

2. And, perhaps bluntly, right now your PCP has better things to do than debate whether or not you need a top-up.

Timing is everything in maintaining good health -- yours and others.

So, keep away from places where people congregate who are unwell, maintain strong social-distancing, and hunker down 'till this emergency is over.

To be honest I want my best chances thanks and if it’s getting a booster jab then I would like the opportunity to have this it was recommended by my CLL care team they advise downloading the immunisation PDF and take it to the doctors I just can’t find it.
