Nursing course occupational health clearances

Hi so I previously posted about what occupational health cleaners look like and I actually got an email couple days ago from the occupational health to fill a form in but in the form it’s asking that I need to provide proof of all vaccinations I had in the past ( as a kid) however I am originally polish and I came to live in the uk 20 years ago as a child but I had all my jabs in Poland , I can’t get hold of them from Poland so now on my occupational health cleaners login says ( needs immunisation review) does this mean I will need to be vaccinated again ? For MMR etc ? If I can’t provide evidence?

You can have a test to see if you have immunity

If you can’t provide written proof of your childhood vaccinations, occupational health usually can’t just take your word for it they need documented evidence. Since you had your jabs in Poland but don’t have the records, they’ll normally do one of two things:

Blood tests (serology)
Revaccination

So the “needs immunisation review” message just means occupational health will decide what to do at your appointment either test or re-vaccinate. Don’t stress too much. it will be fine
