Hello all.
I posted this before but only had 2 responses(very nice ones) so am hoping lots more people around now.
DS is 12 weeks and as yet hasn't had any jabs. With dd2 i spaced her jabs more and she had the Infanrix DTaP+polio rather than the 5 in 1 as that worries me silly.
I am woried about the effects of the 5 in 1 as it's such a new jab but dread the thought of the private firm again as they were not great to say the least.
So, has anyone got any info?
Did you have the 5 in 1 and baby was fine? I've read that it has lots of side effects!

Just worried as per usual about taking a healthy baby to be jabbed!

O.k, just got a little more info from the Private company. The 4 in 1 they offer is exactly the same as the 5 in 1 minus the Hib. She also told me that they mix the Hib in at the time with the DTaP+Polio at the G.P's but they wouldn't give me it seperately! Very odd if i wanted it seperate!!

DS had 5 in one, he had a big bruise the first time. But then, so did lots of other children we know with the 4 in one. So I wouldn't hesitate again. So much better than the old 4 in 1 with mercury in it.

Probably not licensed to give you 4 in 1, now.
