    Immunisation question

    Hi everyone,

    I had my sons second lot of immunisations last week, it is only now that I discover that I wrote the date down wrong and they were done a week early, he has been a bit off since he had them. does anyone know if having them early can be dangerous??

    Thanks!

    Hi Lisa ,

    my little girl had her 8 week imm. done at 6 weeks - because we went to the clinic for something else and the lady said we could get them done then.
    I asked them a million times if it would effect her in any way - and she reassured me that 2 weeks makes absolutly no difference ( and these were her first imm. ever ).

    Looks like she was right , its been 2 weeks since then and no reactions , she didnt even have a temp after them or anything.
    So nope, dont think it is dangerous at all

    I wouldn't have thought it was a problem - I know Lucy's next ones (her second lot) are booked a week later than the date they're due. Your son is prob just a bit off colour due to the needles, and it would have happened whenever he got themiykwim.

    Hope he feels better tomorrow

    Thanks ladies, makes me feel much better, I thought being pregnant was stressful, having the little man is worse, makes you feel so bad when there is something wrong and you don't know what it is!!

    Lisa as the other have said could just be a coincedince that he is a little off colour at the moment. Hopefully he starts to feel better soon.

    If you find the manual on babies, let me know becuase I would still love a copy

    My MCHN wrote down the wrong date of when Maddy had her first immunisations done so when I arrived for her 2nd lot, she told me that Maddy couldn't have them. I cant remember the exact time apart that they need to be, but I know it's at LEAST no closer than 4 weeks apart. Thank goodness my dates in her book were right cause she was able to have them after all! *L*
