Poss tetanus booster, but your docs will soon tell you - I shouldn't think it would be loads though :D

hmmmmm possibly??? :confused:
The BCG jab is the one for the prevention of TB - so yeah, they're pretty much the same thing - I remember watching my daisy prick like a hawk hoping it would indicate that I wouldn't need it - that is definitely the worst ever jab, and almost everyone I know has a scar from it, including me - don't worry though Gabby, all other jabs definitely don't hurt as much :D :D

Ive been to turkey nearly ever year for the past ten years and have never had any jabs. My Doc actually told me not to bother. Trust me you'll do fine without them

yeh my little staple thing that they do came up all lumpy so i didnt have to have it done, my sis did though and hers went really disgusting!
Yeah mine has gone disgusting too, it is really big and it looks like i have had an operation on my arm! Everyone always says to me it looks disgusting! When i first had it done the scab was humungous and infected!!!

my sis said that someone in her class theirs went green! and i kept accidently hitting my sis as i didnt have one done and i kept forgetting it was there!
lol, well all my uncles and my brother punched mine continuously, which didnt make it any better! I think mine was green *gets sick, thinking of it* Thats how bad it was!!
.:SpIcYsPy:.
16-09-2005, 21:45
Nah it wasn't green but I nearly went green seeing you showing me and looking at it!!
Yep it was green Spicy!! dont u remember the scab! lol, i asked ma mum and dad and they both agreed that it was green!!
.:SpIcYsPy:.

:sick:
I was lucky, mine wasn't too bad and didn't go green or anything like that, but I've a lovely scar on my arm - I remember it ached for ages after.....I'm glad mine didn't go green though, just reading about it makes me feel :sick:
i didn't have to have my BCG luckily, but people said they could feel it scraping against their bone!

17-09-2005, 20:53
yeh someone moved in my class and it scraped all down their arm! someone else in one of the other classes fainted!
.:SpIcYsPy:.
17-09-2005, 21:00
I was this *puts thumb and index finger extreamly close but not touching* close to having it.. I think I should get a letter soon but I still haven't :hmm:
i didn't need it, yay!! very happy about that!!
di marco
17-09-2005, 21:17
yeh i didnt need it either. the nurse person told me that if they gave it to you when you didnt need it your whole arm could swell up and you could lose the feeling in it!
You lot are soo lucky, not having it!! I nearly made people be sick when i showed my arm...
i bet it did! people got suspended at school if they punched your BCG
Im gonna cry, i have got to go and have the injection at half 4 today:( AHHHHHH!!!
.:SpIcYsPy:.
19-09-2005, 18:06
How did it go? :(
Lol fine thanks, i was crying just before she dug it in but it was fine just a little prick i had to have TWO!! my left arm is completely dead i cant feel anyhitng it does!!
Glad it wasn't too bad for you, the stiff arm is a bit of a pain,but it will go off, good excuse to get off PE :rotfl:
lol never thought of it that way haz!! But i got trampolining tomorrow and i love it!!:(!! Why couldnt it be something rubbish like netball or gymnastics lol!

yeh you prob had to have tetnus cos you hadnt had the booster yet cos you dont have that til you get to yr10. cant think what the h one was, all i can think of is hepititus (sp?)???
Yeh thats the one i think,hepititus! We werent going to get the injections but because my mums dad died of tetnus thing soo she just wanted to do it just in case!

yeh its always better to be safe. and think on the plus side, when everyone else has those injections at school you wont need them!
I've just heard that they are no longer doing BCG's at school now, not unless you live in a high risk area!!!! Has anyone else heard this??
No, I got a letter from Stephen's school saying that unless you live in a high risk area etc, you now won't get the bcg at school and will receive it a lot younger. If you then move into a high risk area, you will have to contact your doctors and they will arrange for you to have it then!!
I've just heard that they are no longer doing BCG's at school now, not unless you live in a high risk area!!!! Has anyone else heard this?? My son left school 2 and a half years ago and when he was 14 (1998), we were told that the BCG wasn't being down and if you wanted it,you had to make arrangement with your own doctor. Which I did. So it has been the case for a long time here in Middlesex
OOO, im glad i have it done now:) Do you have to have the tetnus and hepititus at school!!! Didnt know that!:):)

yeh its a booster jab as i think you have them as a baby/little kid then its just redone when youre older. we had them done at the same time and we also had polio done but thats ok as its not an injection but some liquid stuff in your mouth. if youre lucky you get to have it on a sugarcube so you cant taste it but i dont know if they still do that. my sis just had to have hers in her mouth without anything else but my year got it on sugarcubes! :D

i had mine done in about 2002 (well i didnt need one but my year had theirs done then!) and my sis had hers done 2 years later (in 2004). dont know if theyre stopping them in my area though, im sure ill find out if my cousin has his done or not in 2 years time!
My cousin should be having hers done at school this year, i really do feel for her!!
