I simply can't understand why the secondary school system
Jacqui,
I simply can't understand why the secondary school system of vaccination
has stopped, especially when there is a greater problem with TB, and
even UK hotspots.
I too have had a recent enquiry about a young adult getting TB
protection (Mantoux/BCG) before undertaking voluntary work overseas -
Isn't exposing these young people madness ?
Surely this just makes no sense, I am sure that some of the NHS Plus
sites may be able to help (we could - but logistics may prevent this),
but I agree with you regarding the potential influx, and the pressures
this could cause.
Many Thanks
Campbell

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] TB vaccination campaign
Hello
the college where i am based deals runs pre nursing courses (something
like a cadet scheme). The students are between 16 and 18 years old and
go
on clinical placement within hospitals. We are expecting that this years
students will not have been vaccinated against TB. They slip between
every
net.
Their GPs wont offer TB screening/vaccination as it is an occupational
need.They are not employed. Their placement site wont offer vaccine as
they are not employed. The current service provider (an NHS plus site)
may
not be able to continue with the service due to an anticipated increase
in
their workload in their trust.they will still be able to t spot test
them
but potentially wont be able to follow up with vaccines, so i am looking
at alternate approaches.I know that ultimately this may be a service
that
we have to offer however i want to explore all options.
Are there any companies out there who offer vaccination service (like
flu)
for TB?
Jacqui
