Janey,

You have raised some very valid points.
We raise our children hoping that we are never faced with situations as you have enumerated. However, such things do occur. There are some very nasty people out there.

I think, that if I were given the option I would certainly vaccinate

Charlotte had her first jab today. She now has a very hurty arm that she can't lift above her head. No other effects at the moment.

The leaflet they gave her does state that the injection should not be given if the girl is allergic to any of the active substances - which of course you don't know in advance - and non of which I've ever heard of!

It also lists side effects as follows ...

Very common - more than 1 in 10 - pain/redness at injection site, headache, aching/tender/weak muscles, tiredness

Common - less than 1 in 10 but more than 1 in 100 - upset stomach/pain, itching/rash, joint pain, fever

Uncommon - less than 1 in 100 but more than 1 in 1,000 - upper respiratory tract infection, dizziness, lump/tingling/numbness at injection site

Just thought I would add this for anyone whose daughter has not had the jab yet but is scheduled to.
