First Immunisations – Wednesday 26th November
03/12/08
Ben had his first immunisations last Wednesday at 8 weeks old. I really wasn’t looking forward to it and so Grandma came for a bit of moral support! Ben had to have 2 injections, one in each thigh. The first vaccination was for Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (whooping cough), HIB and Polio. The second was Pneumococcal Infection. Ben obviously cried a fair bit but not as bad as i thought, it was quite upsetting really and i started to well up after the second injection. The main thing is that he will be protected from these nasty illnesses. Next immunisations will be just after Christmas at 12 weeks old, and again will be 2 injections. Not looking forward to the next set at 16 weeks as that will be 3!!!!
