Last Monday, JW went for his last Hepatitis B jab. That's his last for a while, unless we opt for the Pneumoccocal jab.
If not, his next will be the 12 month MMR jab (measles, mumps, rubella) which has been quite controversial in UK as there have been some concerns by parents it might cause autism. All unproven of course. We'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it.
Anyway, JW was his usual cheery self - gave Dr A, the pediatrician a big smile and was happily playing on the examination couch when the needle went in.
As usual, there was a few seconds delay before the waterworks but he recovered his composure quite quickly.
Oh did we mention he is sitting up quite well by himself these days?

oh ya, the MMR... i didn't know abt the autism thing until after keira got hers.. she felt unwell abt a week after the jab. fever, no appetite.. not sure if i want to give her the follow up jab now.
Hi May Ching,
When is her follow jab up due?
Will have to think about that one. Maybe give separately, but that means 3 separate jabs :(
