Pre-school booster advice needed

5 replies

Dd (5yrs) is up to date with her vaccinations, apart from the pre-school booster. I know this may sound a silly question but does she really, really need it? Didn't she have it as a baby.
I am slightly worried about her having it after hearing all of the news recently surronding these vaccinations. Any advice gratefully received

I think the immunity only lasts so long for some of the illnesses. If she was fine first time round, she will be fine this time too. And, if it helps, myy dd had her pre-school booster and didn't cry at all - very brave girl!

My ds had his a couple of weeks ago & was fine (he'd been OK first time round too). I remembr him having a temperature first time, but he didn't even have that this time - although he did walk around very stiff-armed & stiff-legged for an hour or so afterwards!!!! - All in the mind because of the injections. I think he was most upset when I took his plasters off in the bath that night & he kept telling everyone that he had a hole in each arm

My DS had his a few weeks ago & was fine.
One arm did have a bit of a red patch on it but went that clearer up pretty quick & he didn't even cry - brave boy
