Year 9 .. needle Fingie

[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

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

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.

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)
