hello

**liezl** · 13th March 2013

After lurking for a long time, I finally decided to post here.

I got some helpful tips for my visit visa application.
I'm flying to Solihull next month.

I'm wondering, Do I need to get vaccinated?
Does anyone here got vaccinated before flying to UK?

Thanks.
Liezl

**Michael Parnham** · 13th March 2013

No vaccination required Liezl. But I think you just need a TB test. Good luck for your future and a very warm welcome to the Forum

**Steve.r** · 13th March 2013

Not sure if there is a vaccination against expensive living.

I don't think you need anything to come here to visit.

Welcome to the forum nice to see you posting now.

**liezl** · 13th March 2013

Great, I hate needles. hehe But boyfriend argues that I need jabs i.e flu vaccine and Td booster.

Hello Liezl, welcome to the forum

I'm sure you'll enjoy your UK visit.
Rest assured you don't need any vaccinations and you are not required to undertake TB screening.
Any you do take will be solely by your choice.

**liezl** · 13th March 2013

I'm sure it would be fun and memorable. I'm really excited, I wish I could make time run faster. I have a long list of places to visit. I'm sure I won't run out of things to do for my four month stay.

Thanks everyone for welcoming me

**Steve.r** · 13th March 2013

Where is on your list? I am sure we can all recommend places from all over the UK.

**philphil61** · 13th March 2013

is it just me or is something not right here?

But boyfriend argues that I need jabs i.e flu vaccine and Tb booster.

I corrected the spelling

Since when does a visitor need a flu vaccine or TB booster to come to the UK? Yes a TB test I can understand.
Maybe it's just me being over cautious but how long have you known your bf?
Is he a British citizen?

Apologies if my comment offends but some very concerning issues here

**imagine** · 13th March 2013

hi Liezl ,welcome to the forum,

i doubt even if you had a flu jab before coming to uk, that it would be any use, our flu viruses are probably different,

how long you known your boyfriend? enough to know he is genuine?

**grahamw48** · 13th March 2013

Just need a jab against the crap weather and miserable people.

Enjoy your stay.

Maybe we can do a house swap.

**bigmarco** · 13th March 2013

Hi Liezl and welcome to the forum

Hope you have a wonderful time in the uk and good luck for the future

**liezl** · 13th March 2013

Yeah, I was thinking of getting flu vaccine for UK strain. But now I think I won't, jabs hurt.

Top of the list is Mt. Snowdon. We love hiking.
Then of course London - museums, towers, cathedrals and will watch a play.
Eden Project, Lake district and stonehenge

I won't miss Shakespeare's place

Warwick castle. (I wish I'll have my wedding there

)
cotswold and bath
And more castles

Do you have more suggestions? What's a must see?

**lovejoy** · 14th March 2013

Scotland is worth to visit they got beautiful scenery loads of surprises even your just only driving and they got loads of castle.... North Wales is pretty as well. Enjoy your holiday in the UK... Hope you got a nice weather when your here... Visit KEW Garden it's pretty. Visit ARTHUR SEAT if your going to Scotland.

**liezl** · 14th March 2013

There are some members from the Birmingham area, so maybe they can meet you too.
Have a lovely trip

**highlander01** · 14th March 2013

Herefordshire isn't too far away & is lovely in May when the apple blossom is out - and try a glass or two of cider. Not to forget the delights closer to home , such as the Bullring & Spaghetti Junction!

Have a great time here - I'm sure it will be a huge culture change from the Phils but I hope you like the UK.

Or how about Winchester Cathedral

**South-east boy** · 20th March 2013

If you're going to London, I recommend visiting Hampton Court Palace in west of London-you can easily spend a whole day there!: http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct...,d.d2k&cad=rja
