new jab /old jab

Can't be bothered finding out how to spell the new vaccine (replacing menzb ..i went to doc about something else.. they said when he is 5 months he will get two combined jabs and the new jab.. and then a week later have the MENZ or he can get it at the same time though they have no research obviously on whether its safe or not so not sure what to do..

just got out paper..so he will have dip/teatnus/whooping cough/hep and the haemophilus one and the pnemoccocal :( so not sure what to do..doc said no medical reason not to have the three jabs.. what would you do? have the first two and go back in a week for the menz one or have them all at once?:( and he will have to go back at 10 months for the last menz one then be on normal schedule with everyone else..

they dont do the new one seperate..they only do the menz one seperate:(

What's the the haemophilus one? Is it the same as the pnemoccocal one - Prevenar?

Really? I asked my doc about the pneum one out of curiousity when we were there on tues and he said it was a seperate jab.

All docs should allow you to choose what and when you want to immunise, so even if the schedule says they are given at the same time u dont have to do them at the same time. But that's purely your choice.

yeah she was just saying should do new one seperate..

peanut-thats what i was saying do you think i should delay the menz one a week or not..i was given the option..

I would delay for a week personally, just thinking how i would like 4 jabbies at once compared to 3 and 1 a week later.

That's what i did with ayja's Menzb ones, i didn't want them all at the same time so i would go in between the scheduled ones and get the menzb ones.

It should only be 3 jabs tho - as all the other ones are now combined and then there will be the menzb and the new one.

Your clinic must still be working with the old stock so I would ask them to order in the new combined one.

Mac only had 2 injections at his 5 months so then if he was eligible for the new one he could have had 3 which is what he had at 6 weeks and 3 months. So no real difference as long as they have the new combined vaccine.

I'm just going to get them all at once. Chloe didn't react badly to her last ones, so hopefully she won't be bad this time around either. Personally I don't want to have to go through the whole injection-at-the-Doctor process more times than absolutely necessary, I just want it out of the way. I hate watching her have them

But I think it's just a personal choice, do whatever you feel most comfortable with.

The nurse who did Phoenix's new jab said to do them seperately, so we are back in a week to do MenzB.

He had a lil fever today and slight swelling were injection took place. He's teething too - yet doesn't seem too grizzly.
