Yes Lara I would talk to your Specialist about it, as when I rang the GP they told me no it was not given to children under 12. When I told them that our respiratory specialist had recommended it they looked up the book(immunisation guide) and sure enough it had a section on children at high risk and the conditions included CF, which is why I ask. They give half of a normal dose and then in a month they give it again.

We have to wait a couple of weeks as he's back in hospital in a week's time, and I didn't want to risk a reaction before his biopsy.

To be honest another needle doesn't thrill me, but as the specialist said for babies like ours a chest infection is a lot more of a threat than to the average child..

I hope you find out why your not sleeping, is it stress? Because my Mum used to be such a bad sleeper until she resolved things that were worring her. I know when I am stressed I wake up thinking all night, can't turn my brain off. Anyhow I hope you get a good nights sleep soon!
