After repeatedly calling the hospital itself I'm no more the wiser, so turning to the friendly peeps of the EDF...


My son (16m) is due to have his MMR at St Thomas hospital on Friday, he has an egg allergy and so needs to have this done under supervision. Has anyone else experienced this and do you know how long the appointment takes? I'm guessing the whole point is that they keep them in for a few hours to observe but I really have no clue and don't know how to expect to have to hang around at the hospital.


It anyone else has any ideas then please let me know!


Thanks!

Have looked after children having this done but not at Tommys. Few hours is what I'd expect.

They'll get him weighed & make sure there're anti-histamines & I'd guess an Epi-pen prescribed & ready to use.

The jab will be ordered & collected from pharmacy & the jab given - would guess they'd want to observe for 2hrs or so before letting you both go home.


Is there not a contact number for the department you're going to on your appt letter? If the name of the ward/clinic is on there the Tommy's switchboard should be able to put you through & you can check with them directly.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
