Measles

[Lab 10,979]

The circle jab was called a daisy prick, I think ,then if it reacted you had your BCG ( for TB) ,I remember everyone shitting thereselves about the BCG jab, it was passed down through all the schools how much it hurt.... couldn't move your arm for weeks etc

Like Ruby said if you had it ( luckily I didn't) you'd be punched in the top of your arm for weeks after.. whole swathes of children walking around schools protecting the top of their arm with their other hand There was some nice scarring too....

I know this is going to bite me on the arse but the first jag was called the 6 pricks at ma school....?

Was it not givin on the wrist ?? And then if you needed the jab then is that the 1 that they had to scrape the bone ?? And it would blister up.

 

I never had any of it if I can remember rightly, think it was due to getting thrown out of school around the time they wer doing it

When my nan had the TB vaccination they didn't use injections, they cut her with a blade and tipped the powdered medicine into the wound!

Aye it was 6 pricks for us as well. We had them just below the elbow crease, if i remember correctly. Some horrible nurse stamping f**k out of a load of school kids arms, i bet she was loving it. Then if it went red and stayed red, you had the BCG. f***ing awful that one. It bubbled up like you'd been burnt, now the scar looks like someone's put a fag out on my arm

The 6 needle test is for tuberculosis (TB), which is itself potentially fatal. However, measles (not to be confused with German measles), is an altogether more serious disease, that kills tens of thousands of people a year all over the world, mostly children. It isn't usually fatal in itself, but the commonest complication is pneumonia - extremely serious in children and the elderly.

The "research" linking MMR vaccine to autism is now utterly discredited, and the doctor responsible has been struck off. Measles was almost unheard of in Britain until this foolish man published his "report".

 

This potentially fatal disease can be prevented by a simple, free injection - if you haven't had your children vaccinated, speak to a health professional as soon as you can - wherever you live.

1 in 1000 kids getting measles will die - it was having the vaccine that meant it was almost irradicated, until ( as BB said ) that doctor put a link to autism, and lots of parents were put off having their kids vaccinated ( rightly so, they made the best choice they thought at the time ) and it made a big come back. People forget how much of a problem this disease was, because for so many years now, it hasn't been seen. I've seen 5 cases in my nursing career - 1 child died, and 1 was left with ongoing lung problems afterwards.
