    DD has hers on Wednesday. Thanks for the thread

    Will it matter if she is just getting over a cold?

    Other than a slight fever and a little crankiness for about 48 hours my twins had no other side effects from their 12 month needles.

    DayDream, not sure about the cold, I think the best person to ask is the GP before they do the vacs. Shel and I both have pretty nasty colds/flu at the moment but GP lookde Jazz over, said she was perfect, no reason not to get them done.

    Just an update - no side-effects yet, not even a temp. One of her injection sites is very red but it doesn't seem to be bothering her, and she is her usual cheeky self. Hopefully we come out of this with nothing! It's very unusual considering the other vacs she's gotten have caused crankiness and fevers for the next 48 hours...

    Just thought I'd post about the cold for Daydream Believer...if you're worried on the day, just ask the nurse to take bub's temperature before the shots. My Dr said its hard to get babies 100% well for injections, and the only thing that is worth worrying over is a fever...

    We took them pretty well also slighly more cranky and slight temp that was all.
