gp checked lo and confirmed swollen glands all over head (many of them) and actually found more on groin

she said ok to go ahead with 8 week vaccination...i am not so sure and pretty worried!

I wouldn't, wait until she's better. I would get everything going once she's well in herself, but not when they're under the weather already.

exactly so why do two ggos say otherwise - baffled and feel a bit left out on a string!

GP's nearly always say it's fine to vaccinate, they probably think they'll never get you back there.

I would follow your instincts and wait until the glands have gone down. Why put extra strain on the system? It won't make any difference doing it in two weeks. My HV said it was fine for us to have it months late when my LO kept being ill.
