Is it true that before a child from the UK is allowed to join a Spanish school it must be proved/evidenced that the child has had all their injections.

Measles
Polio
Tetanous (spelling?)
rubella (spelling?)

Thanks

Immunisations are not compulsory in Spain, however some schools may refuse to take children if they haven't had them to protect the other children.
You can read about what to get and when to get it on this link

We had to get a small medical form filled in when our daughters started school here. That included their injections and they had to have the Hep c injection because Spanish children have that too..

Hello: they ask for a official paper to know if the children has them or not, but they can't block the access in case the children hasn't them.

Another thing is they ask for a document from a doctor saying that the children hasn't any infection that could give to another children.
