anyone taken their child for the Swine flu jab yet?

[cutekids]

9 YR old dd booked in for Friday.was invited as she is asthmatic....although only mildly.

would appreciate anyone's opinion on this.

thankyou

My 2 are not having it. DS1 is asthmatic but still not having it.

DS2 has not had any jabs except his baby ones. all the ones before he was 12m old. So he wont be having it either.

And we have had swine flu. It is not any worse than normal flu

dd is booked in for this afternoon. I'm still jittery about it; the benefits (for dd) hopefully (?) outweigh the risks. That doesn't stop me worrying about the risks though.

dd had 'normal' flu and was hospitalised.

saggarmakersbottomknocker.....how did she get on?

Has two achey arms (had seasonal jab too) but seems fine so far.

yeah....hope she's ok

dd had the flu jab and swine flu jab on the same day yesterday yikes.
she's ok but arms are acheing and tired.

I'm trying to decide whether to take my dd to have it done. Apparently she will only need one dose whereas younger children need two. I am veering toward getting it done. Me and dh had ours on Thursday and the only effects were a bloody sore arm. I won't tell her that though.

I asked dds consultant last week about it as she is immunosuppressed and she said for her to have them.
