Has anyone had to take their baby to their covid vaccine appointment? Is it allowed?

I had my toddler in the buggy at mine. He charmed the nurses! Mine was at a large centre, though, so I'm not sure if it would be allowed at an appointment at a GP surgery or similar small site.

I took my children. It was fine.( One child at each appointment)

The couple in front of me had a baby in a buggy (at the GP surgery) and it was no problem at all

Mine was at our local Boots and lady ahead of me had her baby with her- no issues! BUT they are v limited on space as it was in a small area of the shop and they need certain distances btwn people in the waiting areas so lady had put baby in a sling.

I saw quite a few children there.

Yes we took ours for the second one. No issues.

My dd vaccinated someone with a little girl with them. When they came back for 2nd dose, woman asked about dd and said that she had such a lovely manner that her little girl said after that she would never be scared of having a vaccine when it was her turn. So could be positive to see parents having vaccine.

Thank everyone - wasn't sure if it was a stupid question as I know the covid board can repeat itself a lot

I have 3 month old breastfed twins that I was wondering what I could do with!

The location is a large centre rather than a GP office so sounds like it should be fine
