November 2024

Not really sure what I’m writing this for but wondering if anyone has any advice or has accidentally been given the same vaccine twice or been given the wrong vaccine?

I was given my whooping cough vaccine at 17 weeks and this Monday at 30 weeks I was given it again instead of the rsv vaccine. Anyways was bought in to redo blood tests today where they told me about this. They couldn’t tell me how dangerous this is or if it could harm baby all they could say is it probably shouldn’t but there’s not enough info to say for certain. Not really sure how upset or worried I’m supposed to be the midwife was clearly panicking however not been able to talk to her about it and only the gp would talk to me about it even though she couldn’t tell me much of anything.

Just a bit frustrated as I had mentioned my previous vaccines in the appointment that I’ve had and she’d looked through them and through my notes and has still yet managed to mix them up and give me the wrong one.
