  Those who let their child have the swine flu jab..

  YorkshireLass Joined on 20-Apr-2006 Doncaster Posts 3,905

  Contact How did they react to it, not the after effects, i mean the actual jab? Did they scream the place down in pain or not notice it? Charlottes got hers on Monday (shes nearly 3), straight after me and i dont want it to hurt her Oh and if you had it, did it hurt you? I never used to mind needles but for some reason thats all changed in the last few years. Think im becoming more of a wimp as i get older Harry - 25th December 1996 Charlotte Victoria - 20th April 2007  Amber Rose - 24th July 2010

  *Dust* Joined on 30-Sep-2003 United Kingdom Posts 14,546	Contact The injection didn't hurt me but my arm was really sore for 4 or 5 days afterwards. Izzy cried and was very upset when they did hers (corry probably not what you wanted to hear).  The nurse gave her a chocolate button and she was fine by the time we got to the front doors to leave.

  Contact It hurt, but like any injection in your arm. For S she cried when the needle went in, then was better. She had a sore raised patch on her arm for a few days. Overnight she had the shivers, but they went in an hour or so with paracetomol. For me I had the red raised patch for over a week. The day after my jabs I also had the shivers and felt fluey, but it cleared up in 24h.

I heard him yell from the room next door (I was with A with the HV in one room and J was with H in the nurses office). But after there were no side effects and he forgot straight away! This isn't flying, its falling - with style

  mandi72 Joined on 04-Dec-2002 Stirling, Scotland Posts 1,884	Contact I had mine and it didn't hurt - but my arm was sore for about 2 days afterwards.  Ben didn't murmur when he had his and showed no signs of sore arm either.  He did come down with a slight cold but im not convinced he didn't have that hanging around prior to the injection anyway !

  laylolil Joined on 29-Feb-2008 United Kingdom Posts 2,464	Contact Leo cried for a few seconds as with all his other jabs but I took some chocolate which made him quickly forget about it. Mine didn't hurt much when I had the actual jab but my arm was very sore for a few days after and I felt quite rough the day after.   Leo Henry - Aug 08 Martha Holli - Oct 10
