Flu Jabs are given by intramuscular injection normally into the arm you don't write with. For adults and children over 13 years it is a single dose injection. For children under 13 years who have not been previously vaccinated, a second dose is given after 4-6 weeks. Jabs should not be given if you are allergic to hens eggs or are suffering from a fever. The influenza viruses are constantly altering their structure. Every year the World Health Organisation recommends which strains the influenza vaccines should contain. This year the vaccines contain the A/Brisbane/59/2007 (H1N1), A/Brisbane/10/2007 (H3N2) and B/Brisbane/60/2008-like strain. Imuvac is manufactured by Solvay. *IN STOCK*

If you decide to immunise your child with the single dose vaccines for measles mumps and rubella then the vaccinations are given at least 6 weeks apart, and usually in the order given above. The vaccines are all intramuscular injections, normally into the arm. Vaccinations can commence at an age of 13 months. A second booster is given just before the child commences school Children who are feverish should not be vaccinated. We have stocks of rouvax and rudivax. However there are no supplies of mumpsvax as Merck have ceased production of the single vaccine. We are trying to establish another reputable supplier at the moment but chances of sourcing this vaccine in the near future are probably no more than 25%. Rudivax and Rouvax are all manufactured by Merck *IN STOCK* (no mumps) |
Human Papilloma Virus(HPV) Vaccine or Gardasil is licensed for the prevention of cervical cancer and genital warts for females. It is most effective if given before sexual activity starts. The longevity of the vaccine has not been established and as the vaccine does not protect against all strains of HPV, cervical screening should continue. The vaccine is given by injection normally into the thigh. The vaccination procedure is a course of three injections, the second after 2 months and the third 6 months after the first. Gardasil is manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur *IN STOCK* |
