Hello, so my 16m little boy has quite severe Autoimmune Neutropenia. He didn’t have his 12m vaccines at the time as we were told to hold off. But we then decided together it would be good if we could split the 4 jabs up 2 + 2. So he had 2 of them a few weeks ago - the none live ones. He did get poorly as we expected and needed hospital treatment, he also suffered with temporary loss of feeling in both legs and couldn’t walk (quite scary)
But we did know before hand he might get worse side affects due to his condition so we’re as prepared as can be! This week he’s due to have the MMR and this is the one im feeling really sick over as it’s live and they have said this is the one he really might not react well to.
Obviously we have made the decision to have it when outweighing the risks of him ever getting Measles/mumps. But i just can’t help worry and think i’m doing the wrong thing, knowing full well we will probably end up in hospital after the jab 😞 it’s an awful situation to be in.
As far as we know Neutropenia is not very common? So i don’t really have anyone to chat to about this and what others have experienced if their litttle one has had the jab?
I just want to be as prepared as i can (which i know is probably silly because no one has a crystal ball!)
