New WC vaccine info?

I saw my MW today and she showed me a letter she had received from DofH this morning saying their large study following women who have had the WC vaccine in pregnancy has shown no ill effects.

Does anyone know if I have the above information correct or where I can access a proper summary of this study?

I am booked in for my jab next week and although I've pretty much decided to have it I would really like to see the latest info myself.

I really doubt she would have faked it!

Well I do believe her!

But if there's updated info I'd really like to see it so I can read it properly. Rather than a 30 sec convo with my MW whilst bouncing DD on my knee...

hmm no ill effects or potential for baby to get WC. Know what I'll be doing.

All I have found is a notice on the HPA site (where most up to date info will be, there or the gov.uk website) - this is from May and confirms that JVCI have reviewed latest evidence and recommend continuing the vaccination programme. Link here

Thanks workingtitle I will check out that link.

I'm wondering if something new might come out in the next few days then as this was a letter she had had this morning
