She agreed with my OHs previous diagnosis about whether to take statins, etc, so that helped confidence too! She has even got our Daughter in for her vaccination on Saturday morning  I was reminded of the last time she had flu (about 5 years ago), and just as she was getting over that, she had a bad asthma attack (it snuck up on us, as kids don't complain about how much effort it is to breath until they go a bit grey). I don't want to be there again, so for her, we thought we would get her vaccinated. You don't run the contol experiment in life, just hope it is the right thing to do, but instinct says so.
Thank you for asking - very touched!

This is probably a boring as hell for everybody, but just to say OH is better, went to get the alta (the going back to work paper) and the doctor gave him another day off
as it's so highly contagious. I suppose it's because he's a teacher and is in contact with so many people.
Very much agree with your comment about instinct - and also experience. When my daughter was 3 they began vaccinations for meningitis. We didn't agree with it, didn't get it done and she got it and was rushed to intensive care. As you say, I don't want to be there again, got the very controvertial cervical cancer vaccination, but didn't get the flu one as didn't feel it was necessary and in
our case I'm glad we didn't get it, but sounds like your daughter's circumstances are different.
And Caz I - I remember getting the yellow fever jab for Colombia and keeling over going back to the car with my Dad
- but don't worry that's standard practice with me - and poor Dad going into panic mode...
