Taking child when I get my vaccine

[Hightideattheseaside]

Got a letter to say my appointment is on Tuesday after school has finished. I can’t get hold of school to ask if DD can go to after school club and tomorrow is an inset and Monday a bank hol. No other childcare available. Will they let me in to have it if I have no childcare and have to take her? She’s 5 so obviously can’t stay home and wouldn’t want to leave her in the car.

I took my 2 year old and it was fine, it took no time at all and no one said anything about her being there.

It depends on where you go. At my vaccination centre no one was allowed in with you. Had signs saying no relatives/children etc.

It wouldn't be a problem at all at the two centres I volunteer at

Maybe I should try and get in touch with the vaccination centre? It’s say come alone if you can.... so I guess maybe they understand that’s not always possible?

I tried to take my toddler in and was refused entry at the door I'm afraid. Had to ring my OH to come and stay with her while I went in. You should definitely check in advance.

Took my 5 year old it was fine

It was fine at the place I got vaxed.

Wouldn't be an issue at the centre I work at, its going to be inevitable that this situation will occur especially now the younger generations are beginning to get their vaccine

I wasn't allowed to bring my 7 year old GS when I had mine in half term

We have had people bring their children in at the vac centre I work at. The kids just get fussed over by us nurses. Honestly don’t worry about it.

I was allowed to bring my young child in. I did check first though

I took my 11 month old in, he had a whale of a time shouting "Da, da, da!" at all the nurses.

I took my baby and toddler, no problems.
