It is nothing to do with being NHS staff. I think what info you are given is maybe more to do with what vaccine you are getting?Thats fair, and apology accepted
I think what got confused is that both myself and Dolly both said that we weren't given an ingredient list, although possibly Dolly's Mum didn't even get the info booklet, but thats beside the point.
To be disregarded is insulting, and its only because we're on this thread, which is why I said to ask over on the vaccine or covid thread.
All I got told verbally is that my arm might ache and I might get flu symptoms and that I should do a test if that carried on for over 48hrs (as per the booklets advice)
Thats not only aimed at you, @What? insinuated the same by continually repeating that everyone she knew had an ingredient list as well as an info booklet.
So what! We all live in different places and things will change, that's not CT, that's life! I just wish we could get a break sometimes!
It's well known that
Maybe what you get given is different for NHS staff than it is the public, or maybe its like we've said in that it differs per health authority. Either way, when you turn up for you jab as you know its like a military procedure so to demand ingredient lists (that no one knew were even available) and having in depth discussions isn't really on the table
Exactly! Most of us here have kids, so have we ever had the ingredients of their childhood jabs given? No.
I've had Cholera and Typhoid before and no list was given.
Flu jab.. no list given.
In fact, at no point have we even ever received a shiny booklet with side effects given, but I'll give PHE that as it's 'new'
But yanno.... its the CT's that make stuff up
Ok, maybe that was also blunt, and I apologise, but I'm trying to prove a point in that everything we say isn't off youtube and actually about personal experiences and that should be believed
And you can ask as many questions as you like, you are perfectly entitled to ask for a list of ingredients.
I'm sure any staff giving the vaccine would rather go through that with you than you having a reaction to an ingredient you are allergic to.
As for your final comments regarding kids and other vaccines.
I don't remember if I was given ingredients or not but I do gave the sense to know I could ask for them if I wanted to especially if I knew I was likely to be allergic to some things.
I'm also sorry to be blunt bug you are coming across as just making scenarios up in your head that are just not true because I repeat, everyone can and should ask for a list of ingredients if they are worried about what is in the vaccine.
As NHS I got offered my vaccine early so I doubt it's a new thing.I have never known anyone to be given a list of vaccine ingredients with the vaccine. Is this a new thing?
