you sholdn't of had to pay bon.

if your getting rubella, they should eb able to give you a boostrix aswell but depends i teh hospital stock it.

also the babies here are still getting infarix hexa ( pertussis, tetnus etc etc whoopig cough) at 8 weeks. unless exposed by sibling or parent.

i just got told today by my mchn that since a baby died from it on the central coast a week ago or so that they will now give just the whooping couch vac at 6wks. the rest will still be done at 8 weeks.

ok im waiting for that memo to come through then..

we had a high number of people get whopping cough this year, so we are being very pro active in the whopping cough vacciene..

but glad to see they are getting it earlier, will see if the gp's i work for are doing the same..
