I have been told by local medical centre that i can have jab on NHS (33 weeks pregnant)but my 2 year old can not as she is not in a high risk group. Having spoken to the local boots, they were advising parents who enquired to go to a specialist at the hospital. Haven't managed to speak to anyone at the hospital who can help and cant get through to Superdrug. After 1 hr of calling around have given up for now. Why is something that seems so simple made so difficult?
I have been trying for 7 weeks now.My local private hospitals have both declined, so has our local supermarket and local GP. It seems to me that I will have to find a private childrens hospital which will mean taking a day from work and removing my child from school for a day
I have tried everywhere. My 14 month old is on an inhailer for wheeziness but as she can't be diagnosed as asthmatic until she is 2 yrs old she also doesn't qualify on the NHS even though the GP says she is more than likely asthmatic! I have tried everywhere to get a vaccine for my 2 but having no luck.
Hi, there must be somewhere that will vaccinate healty children!I want my 15 year old vaccinated, as she used to suffer quite bad asthma a few years ago.If an adult is present carn't see a problem.Please post if anyone finds somewhere. thanks
Hi Josephine, did u manage to find out where you can get healthy children vaccinated for swine flue? I have been looking everywhere for my 11yr child because i am worried for her, but i still havent had any luck. We live down Cornwall, can anyone help please? Thankyou
I have the same problem. i am from Essex and am trying to get my 4 year old son vaccinated. I finally found a Private hospital that are doing them but it;s going to cost me £170 as he has to have 2 injections 4 weeks apart. I think the Goverment should let all healthy under 5's have the vaccine at their normal GP's Practice without paying a ridiculous amount of money for it. I am unfortunatly not in employment at the moment and will have to borrow the money to pay for it. Naturally i would, without question, pay anything for the health of my child but some of my friends have 3 or 4 'healthy' children and simply could not afford to get them all vaccinated!!
