To be annoyed that my parents didn’t fully vaccinate me?

I know this sounds daft but I’ve been going through my medical records and it shows childhood vaccinations. According to these records there is quite a few where I received the first dose and was never taken for my booster jabs and I was never taken for my meningitis jab either. Aibu to be annoyed

I felt the same, when I was a student nurse I was constantly going to occupational health to have all the required vaccines plus the ones my parents missed. Apparently they never got around to them.

Were you born before the records were digitalised?

I know some of my info from childhood is missing. I suspect it never got transferred off or went missing from my older paper notes.

Yes, I think you are not being unreasonable.

Go and book yourself some boosters.

Depends when you were born - I think there was a shortage of booster some time in the early 90s. I had another booster before uni for this reason. Think my meningitis jab was given at school? Can you remember?
