My 4 yr old ds has been seeing a consultant at the hospital for a possible immune problem. Apparently he has no antibodies to some of the jabs he's had. The hospital sent me a letter and one to the gp saying that the next course of action was for him to have these jabs again. It said one dose of prevenar followed by another 6 weeks later ( i don't even know what prevenar is!!) My gp got the letter, i never heard from them so i went in. I was told that they don't have that vaccine. I then waited while a prescription was written out for it, i had to go get it from the chemist. The chemist said they had never had a prescription for that before and didn't stock it, then the wholesalers didn't have it either so the chemist ordered it from the manufacturer. I took it back to the gp who put it in the fridge and gave me and appointment for the first dose to be administered by the nurse tomorrow. Now i may just be being paranoid but i'm worried about all this, i have never heard of anyone else doing this and i'm just hoping that the gp and nurse know what they are on about! What would you feel in my position??
