Pnemenococcal jab - 1 or 2 courses?

[Bagpuss17]

Hi,

Can anybody tell me if the new pneumenococcol jab is administered in one course of jabs or two?

 

[weestar21]

i was told by my old doctors it was one but i was then told today that Colby will be getting another one soon as shes under 2

im fonfussed

confussed*

I'm confused too.

Normally it's a jab at 2 months and another at 4 months and yes another later on when they're 15 months old.

But Isaacs had his first pnuemenococcol jab when he went for the 2nd course of the others. I remember them saying that I had to go back at the end of Nov for the 2nd course. My MIL took him today as she has him on a thursday for me and they're adamant that he's had both courses which would have meant that he had both courses on the same day!

So today they've given him a jab for pneumonia or something?!

I just had the 16wk jabs and was told I don't need to gack until she is 1 year old?

Harley had his a few months back they said i would get a appointment through for his 2nd one in a month or so its been a while now still not heard any thing

Phoned the docs, he did have the 2nd course of it today. Think we were referring to it by different names and so we've confused ourselves.

She said you defo need two courses of it and they have to be 2 months apart. They have a booster at 15 months ish.

If you haven't had the 2nd course I'd phone your docs.

What a confusion

Isabelle had hers on Weds with her 4 month ones (poor mite, 3 jabs in one session!) and the nurse told me she didn't get anymore until her 12 months MMR one???

maybe different doctors do it different
just wish they all done it the same way that way we all knew what we were doing, im sooooooo confussed by it all
the thing that worrys me is incase they overdose it i know i shouldnt but it has happend in the past with different injections

sorry i dont want to worry anyone im just a worry wart
but im going to ask the doc in 2 weeks when im down i want to know for sure what Colbys still to get and wont be leaving till i know for sure

Aaron only had one at 13 months and was told he wouldn't need anymore. My niece has had two though so I think it depends on the age of the baby.
