    12 month vaccinations, did your child have a reaction?

    DD is due for her 12 month vaccinations next month. She has been fine for all of them so far, but I have noticed it is a different vaccine this time. My concern is the vaccination is scheduled in my area for the day before her birthday. I have taken her to the GP before, but they stuffed it all up and the nurse didn't look like she knew what was going on so I'm not keen on going back there.

    So who has had kids that have been fine for all until this 12 month one? Or kids who were fine for all of them?
    It would just be a shame if she was unhappy on her birthday

    Can you delay until the next scheduled vaccination day instead?
    DD3 was feral after all her jabs, I've still not done her 12 month ones and she's nearly 14 months. That's due to her being sick though, not because she was feral after all the others

    My boys have been fine for all their vaccinations. DD has only just (as in, today!) had her 6mth ones done.. I don't feel it's any issue if they are delayed, so I'd wait until the next clinic day.

    Mine was fine too. I would also think waiting for the following vaccination day wouldn't hurt, it would be a shame if she felt ordinairy on her birthday by chance she did have a reaction

    You don't have to get it done right at 12 months . If it falls the day before her birthday I would be delaying it until after her birthday .

    We've never had any reactions, but just FYI we have specifically been told not to do the 12 month vaccine before he turns 1, anytime AFTER 1, so id wait (if possible).
