I have 6 weeks old boy. We will travel when he is around 12 weeks. Should we have BCG vaccination? If yes where a private clinic?

Thet did not tell me about it. Where will you have in a special clinic? how much is it?

If they haven't told u then u might not need it but ask anyway and no u dont pay!!

Certain areas are routinely given the bcg...they told me as i live near the airport babies who live near Heathrow airport are all vaccinated... so like ceribean said ring and speak to ur health visitor
