I had a hepatitis B vaccine (two doses I think) before a trip to Malaysia when I was a student.
Daughter said the H -b was a double dose, about 9 months apart but she can travel with just the first dose. She was fuming inwardly at the doctor, but you daren’t say anything these days.
Wasn’t that what Kate Adey got when she was reporting. She was very ill.

Sadly, COVID vaccine deniers, are having a major effect on vaccinations for everything else too. It makes no sense to me, I have travelled extensively, and I am sure vaccinations kept me alive in some of the places I visited, I have my flu vax. every year, recently had pneumovax. and will have my shingles vax. ASAP.
What I find so strange is the arguments that vaccines can do harm or that they are part of some conspiracy to introduce controlling elements into our bodies. If they want real examples of stuff that will do harm and introduces pure cr*p into our bodies (that can be addictive), they should look at fast food, sugar. Es - and see the damage they have caused.
When I was born in the 50s, live expectancy was in the late 60s, now it's mid 80s - largely due to medical science - including vaccinations.
I have met some people recently who have decided not to have the Covid vaccination this time. Some will have the flu' vaccination.....all over the 27 age!! Strange, isn't it how people can just waiver a free prevention. Bon!!
I got measles off my brother when I was 4 - I called him a "Ragamuffin" and got them!! During all this, I got double pneumonia and spent 6 weeks in the children's ward at Wellington Hospital. I still remember some visions such as being wheeled into x-ray. Mum would bring me freshly squeezed orange juice every day. I came out thin and fragile weighing about 4 stone!
My flu' vaccination is due tomorrow, but I have had a sore throat and a sniffle - so I'll see what the chemist says - as I still am waking with a sore throat.

Do you mean 2 stone?

I see they're considering rolling out a vaccine for Chicken Pox now. Apparently there was a concern that this would reduce the spread of the disease which is why they've never done it before. It seems an odd justification for letting kids get sick but it must make sense to protect the unvaccinated. Too late for my kids though.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

I just checked and it was thought that adults who had already had the disease would be protected from shingles by the immunity boost they got by coming into contact with the chicken pox again later in life. Studies now show that if you reduce the exposure to the disease by vaccinating kids then there is no sign of an increase in shingles cases. So no need to let kids get sick to protect adults.
