Dh took 6yo dd for her seasonal flu (ie not swine flu) jab today. She's never had it before, and was called, I presume, because she takes an asthma inhaler.
He was told that because she has never had a flu jab before she will need a booster in a month or so.
We're both puzzled about this. Seasonal flu is a new formulation every year, made specifically for that year's virus mutation, so surely it's new for everyone who gets it?
He forgot to take her red book along, so we have no record of what she was given.
I shall call the GP on Monday to try and find out a bit more, but does this make sense to anyone?
