The BCG vaccination

[indigo]

Is it true that this jab is only now given to the ethnic minorities? I'm not sure if i'm happy about that or not:confused: It's just that my son had a letter home about it and it said black and asians are more at risk from it. But I thought that that was only if they are living in their own countries. But if they are born here are they still at risk? Apparently if you are white, you wont get the jab:confused: So my son wont be getting the jab .

That sounds VERY scary, "only black and asians", sounds like there is an agenda and I dont trust them at all. I think that Aids/HIV has been spead in Asia and africa through vaccinations.

Yeah i was told when i went to do nursing that the BCG is not being given to teens in this country anymore as we havnt had an outbreak of TB for so long that its under-control!!

Also i heard on the news today that the Chicken Pox vaccine (programme to start in UK soon) is being considered to be merged with the MMR!! As if the MMR hasnt done enough damage to children...ie- Autism etc :mad:

On a job application form was a pre-requisite for this jab. It was for applying for a post in a nursing/residential home. And it was demanded in some other company that employs care assistants after 6 months' training. Many Jamaicans and Asians work in care.
