BA WW LGW Live virus?

My course for BA has been changed from LHR shorthaul to WW LGW. Does anyone know the requirements for vaccinations, particularly "live virus" injections like yellow fever? This could be a problem for me.

I'm pretty sure that yellow fever is the only mandatory vaccination, with any others being recommended......

Star, you will get all of the information on your course. If you have any worries or doubts, contact BAHS.

You will do some of your customer service training over at Waterworld, you can have a jab at BAHS during your lunch break whilst there.

PM me if you need anything, see you on line.

Iv only recently left LGW WW, We dont have any routes out of LGW which require vaccinations however the company insist on the Yellow Fever jab which BAHS will supply for free. It is suggested you get all the others at the same time as you could be called off standby for some african trips out of LHR from time to time! If there is a problem I suggest you contact your doctor immediately and advise BA!

Before you are given the yellow fever vaccination you will be asked if you have any medical condition that would prevent you from having a 'live virus' injection. I strongly advise you to declare your condition as not to do so could be dangerous to your health.
