New HPV Vaccine - Gardasil 9
We were the first practice in Scotland to offer the HPV vaccine privately. We offer Gardasil 9 – the newest HPV vaccine, covering 9 of the most important HPV strains.

HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) is a common virus that is passed on via genital contact. There are more than 100 HPV types and they infect genital areas. Sometimes they cause no harm and the infection can go away on its own. However, sometimes the virus persists and can cause cells to change – this can lead to:
cancer of the cervix, vulva and vagina in women
precancerous lesions in men and women
genital warts in men and women
head and neck cancers in men and women

HPV vaccines have a well-established role in preventing cervical cancers as well as these other conditions.

A new vaccine is now licensed for use in the prevention of a serious cause of meningitis.

It  offers protection against the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis group B. In children and adults, meningitis usually causes a high fever, vomiting and dislike of bright lights or altered mental state. In babies it can be difficult to gauge symptoms.

The meningitis B vaccine is a non-live vaccine, safe to give from the age of 2 months.

Measles, Mumps and Rubella Vaccines
We offer a professional, impartial service to parents who wish their children to have single measles, mumps and rubella vaccinations.

IMPORTANT UPDATES
Single mumps and single rubella vaccines have been discontinued.
Combined Measles and Rubella (MR vaccine) NOW AVAILABLE

Although chickenpox (Varicella) vaccine is not currently given routinely as part of the UK childhood vaccination schedule, it is part of the childhood vaccination schedule in many other countries.

The chickenpox vaccine can be administered from the age of 12 months onwards. Two doses of vaccine are necessary with a 12 week gap between the two doses.

The chickenpox vaccines contains a live virus, and therefore should not be given to individuals who have reduced immunity (e.g. HIV, cancer chemotherapy) or during pregnancy. If other live vaccines are also needed, they should either be administered on the same day, or with a gap of at least one-month between them, for optimal efficacy. We will be happy to advise you in more detail about this when you attend.

Chickenpox is more serious in adults. If you have been exposed to a person suffering from chickenpox, and you do not think that you yourself have had chickenpox in the past, there may be some benefit to being vaccinated immediately: early vaccination may prevent the disease or make it less serious, and may protect you from chickenpox if you are exposed to it again in future. We are also able to perform a blood test to check your immunity – many individuals who are concerned about possible exposure turn out to be already immune.

BCG / Mantoux (TB) Test
If you are at risk of contracting tuberculosis (TB), we can provide the Mantoux screening test and the BCG vaccination which gives between 70%-80% protection against the disease.

TB is a potentially lethal infection caused by a bacterium called mycobacterium tuberculosis. It primarily attacks the lungs. The BCG vaccine is given as a single dose following a ‘negative’ Mantoux test. You should consider getting tested and vaccinated if:
You have been in contact with those suffering from TB
You are travelling to and from countries with a high level of TB
You work in the health care professions

If you represent a company, we can advise you on the best approach to employee vaccinations.

How it works

When you come in for your treatment we will discuss the test and vaccination with you and make you as comfortable and calm as possible.

You will first have the Mantoux test. This involves a single injection into the arm. You may experience mild itching or swelling
You will have to return exactly two days later for us to ‘read’ the reaction
If your Mantoux test is negative, you will be given your BCG vaccination
A small red spot will usually develop within a few weeks of the vaccination; this will heal to form a small scar
If your Mantoux test comes back positive you will require a chest X-ray, which we can organise with the Nuffield private hospital
