Has anyone any experience or knowledge about this?
DD has had what seems to be an undending succession of colds for the last 2 months (since she was about 4.5 months). The last 2 or 3 episodes have evolved into ear infections and tonsilitis - she is now on her third course of antibiotics and has been having much more pain relief than I would have liked to have give her.
I wonder whether vaccination should be an option to help her through the winter?
The NHS Direct website says: "From September 2006, children from 2 months of age will be vaccinated against pneumococcal infection with a new vaccine called the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). It will be offered to all children at 2, 4 and 13 months."
I wonder whether she has missed this due to not being the right age at the right time?
