Well my sister is a childrens sister in an intensive care unit dealing with children with menigitus and other serious illness's. She has strongly advised me to have lo vaccinated with this new vaccine as apparently it is safer than not having it and certainly better than having a child getting menigitus!
Like with any vaccination there are downsides but i think this new one is a very important one and I definately will be having lo done.

Winston was supposed to get it, but my surgery hasn't had the licence through yet, so he and Fred will be recalled when it's all sorted! I'd rather mine have their immunisations than not

Ollie has had the new vaccination. It did make him poorly for a couple of days with a temperature and cold like symptoms. But again I would prefer him to have the injection than to contract meningitus, constant ear infections and pneumonia. The side affects to the innoculation are far less than the actual diseases themselves. He spiked a temp about 4hrs after having the injection and it had gone within 48hrs, we did have one bad night with him where he was awake and crying and really not very well. Kept him dosed up on calpol and plenty of fluids and he was fine.

Max was struck down by meningitis 2 years ago and if I could've prevented it I would. He was only a tiny 2 months old. It's a truly awful disease that no-one should have to suffer.
I am going to get both boys vaccinated against it if possible.
