Before leaving hospital today with our new baby, the following jabs were given:
1] Rubella for Mrs Lastlid. This was interesting as she has obviously had some innoculations as a child, but the hospital staff said, after analysing her blood, that there was no sign that she was protected against Rubella.
So she was vaccinated against Rubella before she left the hospital.
2] The baby Lastlid was given a BCG jab, basically because her mum is from the Philippines. Normally they wouldnt give a newborn baby a BCG (tuberculois jab) as a matter of routine.
