Ellis has had his today, they give it to babies under 2 because after they turn too the risk drops. so they give it as early as possible.

the leg he had that one in is fine so dont worry they are fine after, its the polio etc jab that is hurtin Ellis still.

Goodness knows when Isaac will get his, he's had the first 2 sets of jabs so it's awkward for him. The surgery only had 10 sets of vaccines when I was in there last time so it's a case of waiting for us.

I saw it on This Morning, it sounds like a really important jab for them to have.
