France

Professionals who bring their families to the UK for extended periods can find themselves facing a dilemma when they return home.

Because the UK follows a different vaccination programme to the France, unless they have made special arrangements, they will discover that their children's vaccination history has become quite different to that of their peers.

In response to this need, we have created a special programme whose aim is simple: to duplicate the programme in their home country, so that on return their history will precisely tally with that of their classmates.

Main differences from UK:

BCG dose under 12 months is 0.05mls, after 12 months is 0.1ml
Before 3 months no Heaf test required
Hepatitis B course
Pneumo course
NB Flu and chickenpox vaccine for normal age groups may be applicable – see US schedule above.
