Just canvassing opinions as I was surprised to receive a phone call from my GP offering my DD who is 12 the vaccination.
When she was 18 months old DD had an operation to remove a brain tumour (benign thankfully). She has had no chemotherapy or other interventions since apart from MRI scans which no longer happen. She has been left with a weakness on her left-side due to the operation as the tumour was on her brain stem and the top of her spinal cord. She has no immunity problems, no seizures or anything. The GP said that the Dept. of Health recommendations are that all children with neurological conditions are being offered the vaccine. I said she doesn't really have a neurological condition and am quite confused about whether she should have the vaccine. Gp was saying better be safe than sorry which makes me feel rather guilty if I say no but I actually feel rather confused about the whole thing.
Can anyone offer info. or suggestions? I know no one who has contracted swine flu so the whole thing has passed me by until now.
