one year olds vaccines

[Mozart150]

Our grandson aged one is having jabs. I looked up and these are scheduled for one year olds. MMR is a weakened vaccine.

Does anyone know if it’s safe to be around him as a immunosuppressed or where to find out in green book please ?

Hib/MenC

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) Meningococcal B (MenB)

Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR)

I had the MMR vaccine this year, I'm 74 and it was fine, just a rather sore arm for a few days. I have Psoriatic Arthritis, Polymyalgia, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Kidney Disease plus a few other things.

Do you have a Health phone line you can call, we have one, I find it so helpful . I'm in New Zealand so am not too familiar with what the situation is for you. It's always wise to get medical information if you are concerned.

All the vaccines you mention aren’t live, so are safe for people with immunosuppression to be around. The MMR is a weakened attenuated vaccine where caution should be taken. Although I know of many parents who are on immunosuppressants and their child has had their Mmr vaccine.

I was advised to stay away from my granddaughters for a few days when they had their MMR.

I just spoke to GP who had to talk to nurse who carries out the vaccines and and then call me back ! She said it was ok to see him. She said they advise to stay away when they have nasal flu one. Then the rheumatology nurse phoned and said it’s ok but don’t change nappy ( can’t do that anyway -re joint problem s etc ) I said I didn’t think he was having polio, Also -I thought all polio vaccines in UK were inactivated.

Thanks everyone for replying xx

I worked in a Day nursery and I was advised always to wear gloves for any bodily fluids. I couldn't avoid the children. It is live one.x
