[kbaby]

Hello i wondered if anyone could help with the above and also the costs.

Im from cardiff

Thanks

You need a private GP. I googled and found the below - it's does travel vacs but may do private GP stuff as well.
The Medical Centre
Taffs Well
Cardiff
CF15 7YG
Tel: 029 2081 1425

Or try your BUPA hospital - they may have peadiatricians there 029 2073 5825

The infarix costs £37 a shot, and you pay between £30 and £50 for a private GP consultation in London, I'm presuming it may be a bit less in Cardiff.
Have you tried offering to pay at your own GP's, or are they being really difficult about the principle? If they know you are not going to give up your HV may have details of private surgeries

Contact the charity JABS, sorry don't know website but its been on MN before. You also need to think about Hiberix.

if im to get them privatly what do i need to ask for. does infanrix replace dtwp, if so will i then just need the menc and polio and if so do i get those done privatly also.

the practice manager called me and said my only option is the 5in 1 and that im to wait for that. she played a bit dumb and said i know more than her and that theyd never heard of infanrix and only offer dtwp. she gave me a fax that shed received from the welsh assembly advising gps about the 5in1. i beleive that someone has already printed the report on mn but just said why dwtp is being phased out and whats now on offer. dtap isnt going to be given as preschool boosters either.

do i go for the dtap privatly and then will the gps give menc, hib and polio or do i need them all done privatly

thanks

Answered you on May baiesas well, but...
You would have DTaP privately, then seperate Hib (whether it's called Hib or Hiberix the seperate Hib is mercury free), MenC and Polio. You should be abel to get these last three done at your GP's (they will think it's better to give you some than none). I am doing Hib Menc Polio, then DTaP2 weeks later, then HibMenCPOlio 2 weeks later etc...., but you can give them all at the same time - there was one peice of research that said the Hib was slightly less effective when given with DTaP though, but not dangerous.
