I remembered that Dillion took his 1st dose of Flu jab in Dec 2008. So for the year 2009 and 2010, he hardly fall sick or had fever at all other then cold and coughs as he also started attending child care that same year.
I wanted him to go for another dose of Flu jab in end 2010 but his PD did not see the need as the vaccine could last him for 2 years at least.
At last quarter of year 2010, I noticed that the frequency of him falling ill is much more as compared to Year 2009.
He had a few fever episodes which thankfully only lasted 1-2 days and it was only a low grade case.
In early May, he was down with a very bad case of Stomach Flu which left him so lethargic and weak that he could not stomach food/drinks for 2 days. And he also had high grade fever as well as vomiting and diarrhea.
Just last week, he was again down with Flu. He had low grade fever, cold and cough.
This time, his cough sounds horrible.. he was hacking away all the time for 3 days leading to phlegmy cough thereafter. And I had to take out his Aerochamber ventolin puffs (after being left in cold storage for so long)to use.
Now that he had recovered, I'm thinking that is time for him to go for another dose of Flu Jab.
I'm not sure if is just coincidental that his immunity system seem weaker after 1 year of the jab.
But problem now is to psycho D to go for his jab.. as he seem to think that if you do naughty things.. you will get jabbed as a punishment!
