hi as your all very wise on here especially about jabs thought you might be able to help me.ds is 7 months old and due to have his final triple tomorrow,ive actually cancelled his appointments the last two times but feel i need to ask advice before i give him it or not.
10-12 days after his first dose he had to spend anight in hospital with broncholitis ,the nurse at the walk in centre asked if hed had his jab recently but said 10 days after meant it wasnt a reaction.he got over the broncholitis well ,he was pescribed an inhaler but after a few weeks on the advice of my hv we stopped it as he was fine.after his second jab yet again 10-12 days later he developed a really nasty chest infection and the only reason he wasnt hospitalised was my gp felt after the broncholitis i could manage ok on my own with him,when i went to get his script from the chemist the chemist asked if hed recently had his jabs,this already had me wondering and to have him ask (hes my gps brother)fuelled my fire.since then he has had no problems whatsoever apart from the odd sniffle picked up from dd whos at playschool or being off because of his teeth coming through.
have mentioned it to hv but she says its just coincidence and gp says same ,but my gut instinct says it isnt that hes having a reaction to something.to be honest i really dont want him to have it but after having a note put on my dds records stating i DIDNT want her to have the mmr my gp gave it anyway,i thought she was just getting the other bit of her preschool booster until i saw they given her that as well,so i dont have a great deal of confidence with my gp over vacinations,i must add though with all other kids stuff hes been great.
so the question is do i go with my gut instinct see my hv before i have ds appointment tomorrow and argue my right if i have to or just do it and hope it was a coincidence.i do know though ds will definantley NOT be having the mmr.
thanks if you got this far and thanks in advance if you can help..
