no rumour it is true
i work in GP's office and am the practice nurse, so am administering them

they are free for anyone who is in regular contact with children, child care workers, grand parents, people trying to concieve, parents, etc

basically if you can prove you have regular contact with a child or are trying to fall pregnant tell your GP and you will get a free vacciene.

you will recieve BOOSTRIX and is a tetnus and pertusus based vacciene.

so head off and get it done asap
