Hi All
This is my story, recently posted this post on FB and got an amazing response so hoping for your views. Following this I feel a letter is not enough and so will be starting a petition to ensure information given on a national level. Please read and love to hear your views.
⭐️PLEASE READ & SHARE⭐️
I am praying on your good nature again by hoping you might share my post.
Tilly had her flu spray 4weeks ago and I thought nothing of her having it as it was a recommendation of her local GP practice. Less than an hour after having it she began to become very nasally and chesty, later that evening she had a fever and was sick. In the last 4 weeks she has been feverish most nights, had sores in her mouth, chesty cough, her heart has been racing and had shortness of breath, had sickness and diarrhoea. Tilly's palms of her hands and feet have peeled and lost their skin.( like when your child has been glueing with PVA glue.).
Two days ago she was diagnosed as having Kawasaki Disease which is one of the more sinister reaction to the flu spray. At no point was I offered any leaflet information on the flu spray, what was in it, would my child have a reaction and what this would be. Following this horrendous experience with Tilly I would like to try and get this to be a national requirement. I have already approached my surgery who have agreed to do this with all future flu spray appointments and I am writing away to Public Health England to ask for this to be looked at nationally.
What I really need is for ppl to share this because I need other ppls experiences and support.
I want to know have you received info on the flu spray from your GP?
Do you feel you would benefit from it and from having this information would it make you consider whether your child had it or not?.
I am not saying don't immunise you child or suggesting you stop using this or trying to scaremonger but I do feel very strongly given my experience that information should be given to all parents prior to their children having this.
Many Thanks xx
