Funnily enough DS2 has just (like, this afternoon) had his boosters.

1 for DTP and one for MMR. One in each arm, no tears or anything what a brave boy.

Or has yr ds had no jabs at all all his life??

quadrophenia · 17/08/2007 18:53

oh no he has had jabs but none since his mmr first time round

My DD was due to have hers today but I postponed as DS2 has chicken pox. She is having her pre school booster in 2 weeks but not the MMR bit.

My dd was missed off the GPs list for her pre school boosters. I phoned them up to arrange them myself and she had them done before christmas which was the end of her first term at school. She was very tired and had a temperature on and off for about a week IIRC, had I known that I might have got them done before the school term started.

DS2 had his just after he turned 4, last October. He starts school in a couple of weeks.

My 2 dss had their pre-boosters recently, ds1 is nearly 7 and ds2 is 5, so no, I don't think there's any hurry.

Our docs doesn't call you for pre-school boosters.

I meant to do it before the end of term but made an apt and then forgot hence the lateness.

I think it's a good idea sooner rather than later girls as MMR can give a fever/rash 7-10 days later and you don't want that at the start of term.
