could a travel vaccine not be given correctly?

[vaccinesabroad]

Am having numerous travel vaccines and went somewhere different just for the Japanese Encephalitis

The person didnt inspire confidence by giving me a leaflet on the wrong vaccine and appearing very nervous but I blamed the nerves on my having queried why I had the wrong leaflet and still went ahead.

I then didnt feel the needle go in and felt nothing afterwards, not even a sore arm. I have never had this with any travel vaccine. Is it possible for them to do anything wrong and if so what should I do now? Can immunity be checked?

Well done for getting vaccines pre-travel- so many people don't. Not all vaccines cause a sore arm afterwards. Did they give you the sticker from the vaccine/complete a vaccine card with the expiry date/batch number etc? Was this a travel clinic/pharmacist? Did you see them draw it up?

I'm not familiar with any titre level checks for Japanese encephalitis vaccine, but IF one is available, you'd likely need to see a private GP to have it done. A hopeful bump to someone that might know.

Thanks. It was at a pharmacy. Very different experience to at the GP. Didnt see them do anything as looked away for the injection and wasnt given anything but I have to go again in 28 days for 2nd dose.

I give a lot of different vaccines and often the patient says I didn’t feel a thing, I hope that helps!
