My 2 girls are getting their swine flu injections on Monday in school. They are nervous. I know it has been talked to death over the last few months but I just would like to know what - if anything - to expect after. They are 12 and 16 - neither have any underlying medical problems except the 12 year old is alergic to a few thing on her skin. Thanks in advance.

peri.. not my area of expertise (if anything is, anyway!) but why are they getting swine flu jabs? I didn't think they fell within the guidelines (6mths - 5 yrs) and the old dearies!

Why do they need them?

Anyway, as far as I'm aware, the only group of people who may experience side effects are pregnant women, which I trust does not apply in this case...

Im no expert about it but I would think secondary schools are one of the worst places for spreading infections. Maybe different countries have different availability to the jab - I really dont know

peri...I agree with all the posters. If they were my daughters, I would not have them immunised.

I have just thought....if they were my daughters, you would be my wife..........!!!!

they haven't offered anything at my kids' school. I'm sure it's the usual flu jab effects.. mild flu symptoms and possibly a tender bit where the jab was done.

have paracetemol handy!

sara - they have been told they are going back to school after but not PE as their arm could be sore and they should not risk knocking it - now bear in mind I am hearing this from the girls !

peri...it is a personal thing.......I see very little benefit, as the second wave of HINI hasn't materialised.

I am still not convinced of absence of side affects of the vaccine.
