Private TB Vaccine Birmingham
You can book your private TB vaccine in Birmingham, with one of our qualified team members, at a time and date to suit you.
Until 2005 all children between the ages of 10 and 14 yrs were offered the TB vaccine. Following this TB rates in the UK were so minimal that it was no longer deemed necessary to continue the vaccination programme. However, the private TB vaccine is still readily available at our Birmingham clinic.
For patients aged 6 years and above, who request a private TB vaccine in Birmingham, we will carry out a skin test or blood test first. This allows us to determine whether or not it is safe for you to have the vaccine.
We need to establish that you have not already been infected with, and do not have an active form of, the disease. Once this has been shown we can go ahead with your private TB vaccine from our Birmingham practice. If you’d like to discuss whether or not you should benefit from having the TB vaccination, please contact us and we will be happy to advise you.
