Injections and the cold

purpledahlia · Feb 18th, 2010, 08:01 AM

Ava's due her 8 week injections tomorrow and then her BCG in the afternoon, but shes still got the cold, will they still do it?

probably check with your HV, i guess itll depend on how much of a cold she might have.

HV doesnt work thursdays or fridays

Her caugh seems to have gone, but shes still all snotty and sneezes? we've waited for the BCG appt for weeks and weeks and she has to have all the injections on the same day or they have to be a month apart, and mums going to brazil in the next few months at some point and my dads coming home from singapore next month so she really needs the BCG(and the others have to be done on the same day) so i hope its ok!

Id maybe just turn up at the appointment and ask before she gets them.

Mirren had a bit of a cold when she had hers, the doc did her 6-8 week check first so she had the all clear for the jabs from the nurse!

she was ok after, was quite clingy for 2-3 days, i ended up wearing her in a sling which i never normally need to do.

Hope Ava gets on ok.

I think as long as they don't have a temperature, it is fine.

okay cool, shes not had a temp so fingers crossed.

Also when they say give them calpol before the injections.. how far before? 20mins or so?

My LO had a cold when he had his jabs - snotty nose and a cough. They said as long as he didn't have a temperature he was fine.
