Hello there, my husband has a teaching job secured with a school and we are trying to arrange the paperwork. We like the in the UK and have a 3yo and a 10month old. Immunisation for the UK and Singapore are similar but the time scale is different - e.g. SG health board ask for the second booster of the MMR at 18 months whereas the UK age is 3y4mth. Can anyone advise if this means I need to find a private clinic to get them completed before? I am pro vaccine so this is not an issue.

Hi Belle,
Have you been able to find a solution? Have you been able to find a private clinic who is willing to provide the necessary jabs? We have a 26 month old, live in London and scheduled to fly to Singapore in 3 weeks. We tried a bunch of private clinics and they all refuse once we arrive on the appointments as it is against the UK guideline.

Yes I have to go private clinic and need to take MMR 2nd dose. Then only they will allow your kids to school.
