Has anyone found an alternative to the 5-in-1 vaccination at pre-school age?

[Twiglett]

please

is there anywhere we can get them all singly

Is this new? DS had his MMR booster and then a separate booster for the....erm...other ones.

its the ...erm... other ones .. polio, hib, pertussis etc

didn't even realise there was five in one in there

sorry, I'm not really helping ...apart from keeping your thread bumped

DS was OK after it though, although his arm was very lumpy and swollen for nearly a week and he still hasn't forgiven me!

I don't think so twig
i would have had tetanus if I could have done it seperately but only available in combo with pertusis and diptheria.

Ask on SN - you might get some more replies.

thanks for bumping though

can you not even get separate tetanus

nope !
They actually told me I could but i asked to see the box ..
...funnily enough ... !

my health visitor said you could get tetanus separatly......

yep
so did mine
and my gp
and then i checked the box and they were all..."gosh"
DH got bitten by a dog . Was given the tetanus only as he specified. then they gave him the care sheet and it was headed diptheris , pettusis and tetanus

Funnily enough they were all "well gosh" too

HOw can they give you other vaccinations that are uneccessary?

that is so weird.
