Im 21 weeks pregnant and had my flu jab this morning am feeling ok a little but sick and have a dead arm, but I'm not sure what to do about my 2 and a half year old daughter! I paid for her to have the swine flu jab in jan after the deaths etc over the Xmas period! She's starting preschool November and I was thinking of paying privately and giving her the flu jab she would need 2 doses 4 weeks apart! My gp says at the moment the department of health aren't vaccinating healthy under 5s Im not sure about going against their advise but on the other hand I'm worried about her catching swine flu! I guess one option is delaying starting preschool until jan, she's also meant to be having her mumps jab in dec or possible mmr if mumps still not available so giving flu would delay the mumps / mmr! Decisions decisions! Wondered if there are any other parents giving their healthy little ones the flu jab feel like at the moment im the only over protective parent out there, I know two others whos children have had it done and were fine following jabs
Hopefully someone out there is intended to vaccinate too would appreciate any advise
