Why 3 Meningitec vax's??

[guestmama9920]

We haven't vax'd DD and DS was delayed, he got 3 in before I figured out I had the right to refuse them

They did Pediacel[ 3 times and Meningitec 3 times, but the Meningitec was only suppose to be 2 times, should I be upset? Can this cause any reaction?

[guestmama9920]

the current UK schedule says that there are "new" ones that DS didn't even have, I'm so confused by the whole thing

Seems to have a lot of aluminum
Aluminum phosphate.5 mg

I wouldn't worry about it.

For one, there's nothing you can do about it now. Secondly, getting an extra dose of any shot isn't known to cause problems, which is why they just revax kids with unknown immunization histories. If the child seems ok, I'd assume he is.

It's not ideal to be getting extra doses, but I don't think it's usually a big deal.

Just because what's done is done, doesn't make it okay. You are looking at things in a "statistical" way, it doesn't mean that for this particular child it isn't going to be a problem, it could well be a "big deal".

Well, "it's probably ok" is really the only thing one can say. Sort of like...there's evidence that catching mumps might rarely cause neurological issues years down the road. But if someone asks "my kid had mumps last year, should I be upset? What should I do?" the only thing you can say is "It's probably fine".
You know?

Yeah, that is really all that can be said now, as it can't be taken back. But I don't think your mumps analogy is particularly good one. One cannot compare a self-limiting childhood disease that has been overcome and results in immunity with an injected pharmaceutical.

Sorry take the last sentence back. I didn't read what you wrote properly.

I will complain if they didn't do as they were suppose to, why let them get away with it?

Before prevenar was introduced to the uk schedule (2006? I think) they did pediacel and meningitec at 2/3/4 months. Now they only do meningitec at 3/4 months with another dose at 12 months and prevenar at 2/4 and 13 months.

the company who makes it says there should be a 2 month gap and only used 3 times in total, not every month for 3 months
