The vaccinations themselves may be a little uncomfortable, but they should not be particularly painful beyond a short, sharp scratch. Our clinicians take the utmost care when administering the vaccinations to ensure they are as quick and pain free as possible. Whilst everyone may be affected differently by the vaccinations it is unlikely they will make anyone ill.
This may not always be the case. While immunity for things like TB, chicken pox and whooping cough may last a lifetime. Some conditions like MMR and Hep B may reduce overtime. Boosters for protection against these conditions can be suggested depending on results of blood tests in some situations which can improve the levels of immunity again.
This may vary depending on your course and current immunisations status. For detailed information on the types of immunisations you require please see the government Green Book: Green Book: Chapter 12 Immunisation of healthcare and laboratory staff
Please try not to worry about this. It is always helpful to give us advanced warning if you have a phobia or faint regularly following vaccinations or blood tests. It is important to eat and drink before attending your appointments as this can sometimes be a factor in increasing fainting.
