I have been on the local training course and tried to work out how why where
what when. I have a form and email address to order vaccine - have done so,
no vaccine has arrived. I have a form to fill in to claim and the form we
usually fill in for the Child Health Computer (FP43 is it?) for once the
updated form was sent electronically so its set up as a mergeable document
in EMIS.
I have a folder in which I am keeping the names of the girls who have missed
the programme at school and been told to come to general practice. Once I
get vaccine we can call them in.
We have already vaccinated our daughters with Gardasil, just prescribing it
and there has been no objection from PPA. It is a muddle, vaccines are
always a muddle. Those of us "at the sharp end" are the last to find out
what is going on. I emailed anyone and everyone involved to ask for
clarification and I have to say, everyone seems muddled.
The rationale given for using cervarix rather than gardasil is that the
extra viral protection of gardasil is against genital warts and this
immunisation programme is to prevent cervical cancer not genital warts!
Seems short sighted.
