Finally! This is something that has really annoyed me and yet I've never other parents talking about it. FLU NASAL SPRAY VACCINES in school. It's wrong IMHO and I'm glad to see others are also feeling this way. Not flu JABS (de-activated), but nasal sprays given in schools. Anyone who has had one can be contagious - yes - contagious (it's in the medication leaflet). So if you are spraying it up the noses of school children, they could potentially infect elderly relatives or other reduced-immunity children or adults who have not been able/ have chosen not to have it. IMHO it has no place in schools - they are for education. I also find the 'state mentality' of the vaccine programme insulting. I imagine by rolling it out in schools makes parents presume it is 'okay'. Read the points of the petition. Are you being treated the same as parents in independent schools? No? Is it only state schools that should be used for 'herd' immunity with, frankly, scientifically ineffective and downright questionable drugs?
Before I'm flamed for being anti-vaccine, I assure you I am not. The Redshoes family have all had the flu jab and other vaccines at some point, although I don't do flu jabs now. Please read the reasonings on the petition because they are some of the most eloquent and clear arguments against the vaccine I have come across.
