Swine flu vaccine.

My 2 yrold has been invited to have the swine flu jab,He has had swine flu twice last year he was over it quite quickly both times ,the rest of my family got it and really badly,can anyone tell me when they took there children to have the jab did ithey have any side effects from the jab?also did they have any swellings on there arm?

[hannah40]

I dont like the thought of him having to have the jab and i worry about the side effects and i thought if he has had it twice surely he should have built up some immunity.

My grandson is 16 months and had his jab last week. No problems at all.

my 7 year old had his in december with no side affects but as darren says had a sore arm but was told this would be the case anyway no swelling

Surely he can only catch it once. The other one must have been a different flu.

If he has already had it, I can't see any point in giving him a jab.

he had it twice was admitted to hospital on both occasions due to high temp and was swabbed and swine flu decteted,both times were when it peaked july and november and i got swinr flu on both occasions also.I was told when flu season starts again nov 10 it will peak again but like you mentioned can he get it again!!?I am very anti chemicals pumped in to littleones unless it is necessary and he got over it with out complications but there again i was very ill with swine flu and i caught it off my son and my 5yrold daughter was also very ill.so maybe it will be best for him to have the jab .I just dont know.
