Has your teen had the 3 in 1 polio/tetanus/typhoid booster, plus the meningitis vacc?

Did they have side effects? A lot of dd’s friends have had it and they all been sick - vomiting - afterwards, plus high temps, sore arm, off school.

Why does a vaccine cause vomiting? Now dd is really worried about it. Can anyone reassure me? (Emetophobe here)

Plus they’re having it on the last day of term and dd does not want to be ill over half term...

JellySlice I can completely believe that.

We have a few with anxiety issues; we schedule them for first thing in the morning so they can get it over with and they don't have to worry about it all day and also so their anxiety doesn't start to affect the other students

DS1 has quite significant needle phobia and has fainted after immunisations. His school kindly scheduled the nurse to come in and do his DTP/MenACWY on a different day from the rest of the year.
