... only to be told I had no vaccinations on record, and infact, nothing on my medical record at all except a few notes from my birth many moons ago! Contacted my now old GP surgery to request their notes, who advised me they'd been transferred to my new GP and all their copies had been destroyed... To and from for a number of weeks, and nobody knows where my records are, or if any exist! So for the time being, I'm just a ghost with no medical records at all
That's poor, the problem is that as Radgirl mentioned above - these notes are important and inform future treatment.
Hope you get it all sorted.
