Where to get Swine Flu vaccine for DS - Bristol

PussinJimmyChoos · 12/01/2011 22:30

As I am 7mths pg, I had my jab yesterday. Spoke to nurse about vaccinating DS and obviously, they are not doing under 5's (he is 4.5yrs) and they are not doing it privately either

I have contacted the local Bupa hospital and waiting to hear from them, but does anyone know of where I can get it done and would you vaccinate your U5 considering govt are not doing it as a matter of course? My gut feeling is that it can't hurt for him to be vaccinated

Thanks,

Puss

Would you be able to travel to Chippenham? I have booked with a private clinic there and I believe they might still have plenty of vaccines.

Yes would travel to Chippenham if needed - what clinic is it please and do you know what vaccine they are giving - i.e this year or last year's stock?

It's called The Halo Clinic which is in the Hathaway Medical Centre. 01249 454540. They told me it is the new vaccine i.e. Swine Flu + FluA and FluB. I also asked them if it contained Thiomersal and they said no. They charge £15 a jab (a child will need two jabs, 4 weeks apart)

Sorry didn't mean to post twice! Hope you manage to book something. I think you're doing the right thing.
