Thoughts on the 1 year vaccinations please ?

Don’t worry about it. This is the least of your problems. If your child gets a serious illness, then you’ll know all about it - much worse than the anxiety you are currently experiencing and could even kill them. So get the vax and keep other people’s kids safe too. Win-win situation. Same as smear tests, just do it.

For @Ellamaee and anyone else worried or wanting accurate information about vaccines from a genuine source, I cannot recommend https://vaccineknowledge.ox.ac.uk/home enough! Evidence based, well written and from a brilliant source.

Much better than Tik Tok or Instagram or any scare stories online!

That will have been the HPV vaccination. The vaccine helps protect against cancers caused by the HPV virus - mainly cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine also protects against mouth, throat, head and neck cancers caused by HPV.

Having seen a family member go through some horrifically brutal treatment for a mouth cancer caused by HPV I would suggest that refusing the HPV vaccine is not to be advised at all.

I find it worrying that you don't know much about the vaccines that you have had.

My daughter is a year older then you and needed her vaccination record when she volunteered at the local hospital. she asked her GP to print off her vaccination record for her. If you ask your GP they will do the same for you.

Yabu ...as previously mentioned growing up a toddler in the next street to me died of measles as her parents choose to not vaccinate her....I'd believe a doctor over some random on tic tock. We Lucky to leave in a country where we can have vaccinations.

Yeh well, because of vaccines most people have never seen the devastation of childhood illness such as measles, polio etc.
Having worked in countries without these life saving vaccinations, I can hand on heart tell you, if you saw the results of these diseases you wouldn't think twice about getting your child vaccinated
Yes it's horrible having your little one on your lap getting 'stung' by a needle, and yes it's not much fun for them if they get the post vaccine snotty nose and or slight fever, but the actual disease causes so much suffering, that it's a very small price to pay, for something which will ultimately save their life/ prevent significant disability.
Both mine had their vaccines, both of them were a bit grotty a few days afterwards, and had horrible stinky nappies! But I have no regrets especially given the increase in measles cases.
The risks of not vaccinated massively outweigh the teeny tiny risk of an adverse reaction to the vaccination, but OP if you are worried then you can stay in the waiting area in the surgery for 20/30 mins after the vaccine. You can also talk to your health visitor about possible side effects, so you can make an informed decision.

OP - you’re doing a good job. Delay is fine, don’t worry.

Just get it done. You’ll be over it as the non-event it is, like everyone on this thread.

I’ve worked in and around drug discovery for 20 years (not vaccines). My DD has all the vaccines available and I’ve paid privately for chicken pox. Thats a later discussion. You’re doing the right thing.

I’m a teacher and before that I worked in early years (nurseries etc) for 15 years. I worked with babies aged 3 months - all the way to children leaving reception. I have never, in my entire career met a baby or child that had suffered from vaccinations bar needing a bit of calpol. I have taught or looked after over 500 children (at least!). Yes some children will suffer a negative consequence but it is such a small minority. If your child caught one of the diseases they could very well die.

Yeah they will tell you in the appointment, sometimes they get a very mild rash about 10 days afterwards, it is totally normal and it doesn't bother the baby. It's much milder than a HFM or chicken pox type rash.

Allergies to vaccines are really rare, and in the extremely unlikely event of a reaction, you'd be in the Drs surgery where they'd know what to do. Compare that to all the food allergens you have introduced her to in her life! There is an allergy risk in everything, but the vast vast majority of people are fine. It's so hard when you feel anxious, but you really are doing the best thing x

Op talk to your mum, did she have you vaccinated - did your head fall off ?

No look at the kids around you 90% will have been vaccinated.
Please don't gamble with your kids live.

Note I'm never 100% sure on flu vaccines because they change every year but the standard vaccines that haven't changed in decades run and get them

Just to add to the reassurance, my baby had no side effects whatsoever from the 1 year jabs, not even a temperature. They were by far the easiest for us, she had temps and a bad tummy from the 8/12/16 week ones. Also got the chicken pox privately and no reactions to that either. A few friends little ones had a temp and a mild rash after the MMR but cleared up very quickly. You're absolutely doing the best thing for your little one by getting them jabbed.

I replied to a vile and now deleted post.

This
Its basic

My dc had is one year old vaccine this morning. Popped a couple of cheerios in his mouth as the needle went in and he barely cried. He did fall asleep in the shopping trolley after though.

This is a lovely post and I agree with your sentiments.
I am an older mother and had DD before all this social media nonsense started influencing people to make the wrong decisions.

TikTok is great for recipes and watching kittens, but for anything serious that requires peer reviewed research then checking on the NHS website is a good start. The NHS wants to spend as little as possible, so anything that prevents disease is going to cost them far less than having to treat people with a preventable disease.

Your anxiety is pushing you the wrong way! You know vaccines prevent horrible childhood illnesses. Forget about the rubbish on TikTok!

If you're anxiety is so bad that utter rubbish about vaccines on TikTok is making you have anxieties about them, then you put your MH first and delete your TikTok account and remove the app from your phone!

Do medical professionals and medical researchers get their DC vaccinated? Yes. Overwhelmingly. Unless there are genuine medical contraindications.

Case closed. The people who know by far the most about vaccines give vaccines to their DC because they want the best for their DC.
