Dd who's 11 is booked for her flu jab this afternoon. She has congenital heart disease. I've just realised that last year's jab coincided with a huge flare-up of her eczema (discoid). I feel such an idiot that I didn't link the two before - dopey or what!?
Should people who have eczema have the jab? Is that one of the questions they should ask? I've never been asked it - just about eggs I think.
She's obviously at risk if she gets the flu, but she is also at risk of endocarditis from infected eczema - and last time's flare up lasted all winter. I don't know what to do!
