I guess so, I didnt have the TB one at school. Apparently the county i lived in had stopped doing them. Now everyone gets a little concerned when I say this but none of my friends had it either!!

hi DC_FC, neither did I have the jabs at school, i had/have a real phobia of needles and somehow managed to wangle my way out of having it. I've been fine but s'pose i would be at risk as they say.

TB is on the increase in this country, particulary the type which is resistant to antibiotics, my daughter had meningitis and that is really awful, I'm sure that your local surgery will help if youy're concerned
