Year 9 .. needle Fingie

[H.bubbly]

Yeah so .. year 9 we gotta have this little stamp with 6 Needles on it in our arms , So you don't get some disease or something , i have no idea , thats all i heard about it ^^

[Mr.Comedian]

yes, the dreaded tb jab. We had ours in year 8! it doesnt hurt, the next jab hurts more but only for a could of seconds

[H.bubbly]

Ohh Right , i have to have it next year ;[

[ilovejordan]

I dont have to have it :]

[Catchetat]

tuburculosis thing? (not sure about spelling :P

[H.bubbly]

ye tb :) ....

[ryva05]

The stamp thing with the 6 pins doesnt hurt at all though. They have it checked like a week later, if its still there, you dont need the jab. If it's faded away, you have to have it. Someone fainted during the jab, it wasnt that bad, don't worry.

Year 7, 2 Needles :( They totally hurt :(

[foxyfox00]

Sound like it hurts! Dont have that here, thank god!
Im not really afraid of needles. Although last time when I got my tetnis needle [after slicing my finger in a cooking incident...] I couldnt move my arm for 3 days.

As a result I didnt have to get a combo needle at school, :D Seeing my friends walking around with dead arms and not being able to punch me. :eusa_danc Priceless:eusa_danc

[Stitch]

I didn't have to have that yay! :eusa_danc

The TB jab is nothing to worry about and gives you LIFELONG protection against Tuberculosis, which is still present in the UK.

One of my friends had the 6-needle-stamp and it stayed, which meant she was immune to TB, but they gave her the TB jab anyway!

You get a nice scar from the TB jab, and it doesn't take more than 2 seconds to receive it. :)

[D3stroyer]

I had the Tb Jab it didn't hurt, but i was left with a scar and it's annoying and when ure friends aremessing around punching you in the arm it kills!

If you have the TB jab, let everyone see your scar, it shows your proud and NOT afaird of having that done! Unlike some who cant :rolleyes:

It hurts for around minute?

Nearly everyone has them even if you dont need it now..

Im in Yr 10 so its been a year and u cant even see my scar anymore :) And it doesnt even hurt, it mayhurt for around a month after you had it done if someone hits your scar.

[bubble79]

There's nothing terrible about the TB jab. I dreaded it, but then it was ok. It felt rather like a bee sting, and itdidn't hurt much afterwards. Just don't let anyone touch yoyr arm, because that's what hurts, even weeks afterwards. I think my scar's faded thoiugh now, I had it last year. But TB is the worst jab you're ever going to have to have at school or something, so it's not really that terrible. Don't worry about it, and don't look at the needle.

[jstar953]

jeez, you lot sound like you had it good!! i got the rubbish nurse who obviously knew nothing about injections for my heaf test AND my BCG. after my heaf test i actually couldnt move my arm and my actual bcg was so painful. i had to go to the doctor and have antibiotics because it was full of pus and incredibly painful and a year on i still have the scar and it looks pretty minging [see below]

blocked out school name for obvious reasons.


and btw im not trying to put you off deliberatly!! im sure you will get a trained nurse!!

[Dirgeofcerberus]

I had the 6 needles, the mark went away so I had to have the jab.
That was last year or maybe 2 years ago, and I still have the mark where the jab was.

[Infrontation]

Six neddles isn't too bad, although the whole click and pain thing I didn't like.. I prefer the slow release into the skin like the bcg. Dw if you get a decent nurse your Bcg will turn into a nice pale scar the same colour as your skin and will only be about *thinks* the size of the end of a pen or so :P

[iluvben]

Had mine last year and I still have a scar , mines just a little bit smaller than a 50p bit ''/

[[N]]

Is this the one that, you have 6 needles in your rist then after you have it on your arm?

I had that ages ago on my left top on my arm... still there :)

when i was very small..

[Lukeh]

I was so dissapointed, its overrated.

Dosent hurt at all, seriously like the tiniest sting in your arm, thats it

[Halting]

We got a letter home about it, they said it'd be within the next week and that was before the Christmas Holidays - from what I've heard they've cancelled it!

Erm.. I think its by the law that they give it too you, actually I'm 99% sure it is..If they don't give you it there is a possibility your will get Tiberculosus..
Of course there are people that don't need it.

[Toes]

I dont have to have it :]

Why not?

[Moose]

And your happy about it? Anywho us Americans take one shot :/

[Infrontation]

Why not?
She has the right white blood cells and disease fighting strand already in her system, meaning that she is protected from TB.
Also here is an interesting passage;
"Does BCG Work?
Unfortunately, the positive effect of BCG in protecting infants and young children from endemic areas from the lethal forms of TB does not extend to the adult years. Thus, many people develop active tuberculosis even though they received BCG, even in multiple doses, in earlier years. Since BCG has been used so widely and for such a long time, if it were effective it is unlikely that one third of the world's population would now have TB infection and that two million people a year worldwide would die of TB."

Yeah, the injection thing goes into your arm slowly, and the liquid goes into your arm. Your arm goes a bit weak, and a sort of pink/red small bump appears.

(Mine is still there after 2 years because my sister pushed me into the door and made it septic:()

[JackBuddy]

Mine looked like a mouldy cornflake. :D
