Again, thank you all for your responses - they are so helpful!

Kaz, great to know. My friend did the same thing and also had no side effects. So that sounds promising

Jitterbug, BF was a concern of mine...so good to hear that you had no issues.

Kim, it is different for different states. Apparently all states get assigned an immunisation grant from the Federal government and each state decides what medications / vaccinations they would like to subsidise. QLD, unfortunately doesn't have the Boostrix / Adecel vaccine on PBS...so we have to fork out $72 a pop with no rebate (unlike some other states where it is totally free for immediate carers). Quite silly really, considering there have been so many SE QLD outbreaks...
