We dont do that at Bournemouth. Just ask a check list of questions seems a bit over the top.
Hope that helps

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Pregnancy Testing prior to MMR Vaccination
Hi
I presently work in a department which undertakes pregnancy testing for all females prior to MMR Vacccination.As a review in improving work load/clinic demands etc I have tried to find information supporting this practice.
Protocol in general, appears to be advising pregnancy testing only when there is uncertainity regarding the individual's pregnancy status.
-Generally the individual being provided with appropriate information regarding avoidance of pregnancy etc
and questioning if the individual concerned is happy that they are not pregnant ,as sufficient to proceed with vaccination.
I would welcome your comments regarding your practice especially if within a nhs department.
Kind Regards
