I think that if it was my daughter I would want a few more answers and would delay her having the jab till I had them.

That is exactly what me and hubby have said. Until they have done further checks (the second girl that was mentioned with brain damage got it after the second jab last year) then we will hold back. She can have it done at the docs but just too soon I think to make such a huge decision. Thanks for giving an actual opinion pinknico.

I dont know Di but speaking from experience, i am allergic to many things, I am unable to have the flu jab because of the ingredients and my anaphylaxisis I would think it is very very rare for this to happen and most girls would be fine. If you think millions of people have the flu jab there cant be many who would have a severe allergic reaction like me thank fully I do understand though I will be bricking it when my daughter has her next one. Although my daughters not due for a while yet. I would suggest holding it off though until investigations are comlete.

My daughters is due in a couple of weeks but decided to hold back for a while dialysis. I think its the right thing for us as we are both worriers anyway.

Hi Marshalka,
Have you tried to find out what is the latest time your (or anyone's) daughter can have the jab to have its fullest effect. I mean if they waited until they were 18 or 20 would it make a vast difference to the outcome?
Just been googling and they say the optimum time is before the girls become sexually active but it could still offer protection when given up to the age of 25. (I'm sorry I haven't a clue how to do links).

My ramblings probably haven't helped but whatever you decide it will be because it is what YOU believe is best for your daughter and I think that is all we can ever do.

Thanks for this Karen. My daughter has just given me a reminder from school today of the jab and i have explained to her that until we KNOW a full investigation has been done and the outcome to this jab we are holding back. If this is within the next two weeks (14th October she has it done) then we will decide again. Up to now we are waiting and holding back. She understands but wish she did not know really but believe me it will be the talk of the school I bet tomorrow.

Did not mention this earlier, with lots of stuff going on, but my oldest son have again lost one if his school mates, in afgan on Sunday just gone.
This lad was aged 21.
That is 2 of his mates now over the last weeks.

Just read on the online news that the poor young girl did not die due to the jab, but due to a underlying medical condition, although investigations are ongoing.

Sorry your son has lost another young friend Di, thoughts and prayers with for his family.xx

Hi Karen

From what I understand they try to give the vaccinations before the girls are sexually active. So I suppose if an older teenager is not sexually active the injection would be as effective as a younger teenager.
