to think my dr should give me a swine flu jab BEFORE i get pregnant

[carriedababi]

decided to ttc

just phoned gp to try and get swine flu jab.

they won't give it to me until im pg

so i have to wait until theres a baby inside then have the jab.

don't really fancy being injected withthat once theres a baby inside

what do you think?

what should i do next?

should i try to go to the health authortity or whatever they are called, who do you go to if you don't agree with your gp?

My SIL is preg (16 weeks) and she had to wait until 12 weeks stage before drs will vaccinate. I have heard other mums telling me this as well.
As someone who has experienced MC I thought it was unfair that mums had to wait til 12 weeks but there you go.
So, as a ttc-er yes, YABU cos as someone else posted you could take ages to get pregnant and there are people who need it now. So, they do have to prioritise. As someone else suggested you could get it privately.
