    Prevenar 13 vaccine

    I got a letter from the government in regards to a new vaccine for pnumococcal (sp?) saying that i can get my DD2 a free shot of this vaccine that immunises against some extra strains that the other vaccine didnt cover when she had hers when she was younger.

    Did anyone else get this? Are you going to do it? I really hate the thought of giving them the vaccinations just becaue of the risks involved but then again i dont want them to get the illnesses either.

    I originally thought i wouldnt do it because my older DD didnt get it and i want them to have the same coverage, however my DH wants DD2 to get it. so now i am probably going to have to pay for my older DD to get it as well just so they are the same.

    What is everyone elses thoughts?
