"Immunisation for children"

About: Tangney

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I work at a GP practice.  Toddlers who come in for immunisations have to take 3 shots at one go. I feel that is extremely traumatic - for the kids, for the families --especially for the children! Why does the health authorities not take this into consideration? It is enough for adults to take even one injection at a time, how does it happen that toddlers have to endure 3 shots at one go? Why cannot the proper authorities not try to incorporate the 3 shots into one injection?
