Essentially they would prefer you to have the usual set, including Men C and BCG (although I'm not sure how that latter will change) and Hep B (which is the only non-standard one).

Its the GP's responsibility, so poke them in the eye and tell them to bloody do it. Like Renal says, a BCG is also the way forward. It really can't be the Uni's responsibility because its a nine month job and if you have patient contact in first year, you need the vaccine. Is it the GP's surgery or the doctor himself telling you its the uni's job?

okay. here's the situation. it's not "the GPs job" or anything like that. if they don't want to give it to you, you have no rights to demand it. if they do give it to you, they can charge or do it for free. if they do it for free, they are paying for it personally so make sure you say thankyou!! most GPs will be understanding if you tell them that you need it for medical school and that it's a condition of your offer that you're immune before you start. if that fails, go to a travel clinic.
