Aaron had his first year jabs on 28th May.  He didn’t like it at all and was fighting through the second jab that had to be done.  He had a couple of small bruises come up afterwards and was quite whiney for the rest of the day, especially if you tried to go near his jabs area.  He was still a brave boy though!

The nurse said that any symptoms from the jabs may appear up to a week after, and he unfortunately ended up with a bad case of conjunctivitis which had to be treated with eye drops.  It may not have had anything to do with the jabs as the jabs had nothing to do with conjunctivitis, but they may have helped him pick it up through his system working against the jabs.  It has taken a good 2-3 weeks for it to fully go, with Ben having it slightly as well at one point, but it looks to have finally gone.

We are very glad there is a long time until he is due more jabs!

On the 12th September, Aaron had his 3rd set of jabs.  These were for Meningitis C, Pneumococal Infection and a 5 in 1 for various other illnesses.  He did cry during the injections, and afterwards large bruises came up on both his legs where the injections were, so we had to be careful with him for a few days after.

On 2nd August Aaron had his second set of jabs for Tetanus, Diphtheria, Meningitis C and Whooping Cough so Kelly and Ben took him up to the doctors.  He cried a little bit as any baby would but he wasn’t really bad at all.  We were expecting a rough night but it wasn’t any different to usual, but a couple of days later he came up in a bit of a rash which could have been a reaction.  It passed again as soon as it came though, so was nothing to worry about. 😉
