What would you do?
My little one has her 12 week jabs on Tuesday but shes picked up a horrible cold and cough from her sister (thanks nursery)
Would you still go ahead with the jabs or wait a week and have them 2 days before Christmas? My surgery only has the vaccination team in on Tuesdays

I’d wait for her to get better and schedule it for after Christmas
It’s up to you as an parent if and when they get jabs. My eldest had her first set late and was perfectly okay. X
With her first set of jabs my lo just started with a cold so going off that I would definitely reschedule and they do not advise your baby has jabs while fighting an illness
They should be absolutely fine with a bigger gap between them x
I believe it's a minimum of 4 weeks between so you can delay it till a better time. I.e. after Christmas. I agree with above post, they always ask if baby is well before giving vaccine so best to let your LO recover. Hope she gets better soon!
Perfect thanks everyone
I didn't wanna leave them late and them not be effective but I also would hate for her to feel any worse than she already does
I'll call tomorrow and reschedule until after Christmas
I was told if baby was unwell they wouldn’t do them, when I took my boy for his 8 weeks they checked his temp and asked if he was well first, I can imagine it’s much the same for the 12 weeks x
I would wait until she feels a little better and to be on the safe side, do it after new years! You want to be able to enjoy Christmas and New Years as the side effects of the jab can be a high temp and that’s the last thing you want! Xx
