Immunisation (Why not?)
I still come across parents, who for one reason or another, decide against immunising their children.
Please give Paracetamol AFTER vaccination.
From BNF for children Post-immunisation pyrexia in infants (see also Post-immunisation pyrexia in infants) Paracetamol by mouth Child 2–3 months 60 mg as a single dose repeated once after 4–6 hours if necessary (dose can be repeated twice for meningococcal B vaccine) Child 4 months 60 mg as a single dose repeated after 4–6 hours (max. 4 doses in 24 hours)
Chicken Pox vaccine
I am so ‘Pro’ vaccine as I can’t think of a reason ‘not to immunise’ your child if there is safe and effective vaccine available. Ok, I am not going to debate why some people decide not to immunise their child. Those people just need to look at some good data and statistics and get ‘real‘.
Meningitis B vaccine
There was a lot of social media talk about Men B vaccine couple of months ago. Now the Vaccine has become available privately. 2-3 doses are required with at-least a 2 month interval between the doses.
