PCV - anyone know anything about it?

[Bibiboo]

Had a letter from the surgery this morning offering my dd (2 on Oct) the PCV - so far I've seen a few ads on the tv about it, but don't really know much about it.

Can anyone give any experiences or their child having it and any side effects?

Thanks

bump?

hi, I got the same letter It's the tuberculosis shot I think. Called surgery this morning asking why ds is being called in as he's had his at birth and they say it's a booster...

found this .

Had to laugh though... 'offered at two, four and 13 months'

DS just turned 2!

Its not tuberculosis - its meningitis, scepticemia, pneumonia, & ear infection.

There are a number of threads in health - look for the ones with pneumococcal, pneumo or prevenar in the title.

Its only just been introduced to the scedule in this contry which is why you didn't get it @ 4 & 6 months.

upps sorry ...

Thats OK. I just thought i would refer you to the comments that are already out there rather than repeating it all
