The Flu Jab
I don't know if anyone heard the news today, about this years flu jab? Now they are saying it has only protected 3% of the people who had it.3% !
So 97% of people who went for the treatment still got the flu.
Did you have the flu jab? Did you get the flu this year?

Re: The Flu Jab
My son and I both have the flu jab each year for health reasons. I've never been up or down with the jab, but my son took a bad flu a couple of years ago and ended up with pneumonia. Was in hospital for two weeks, but apparently they said it would have been worse without the jab
?

Re: The Flu Jab
The flu virus mutates and there is no way of predicting when it will happen, so sometimes the vaccine isn't as effective.I got the flu this year, and I can honestly say it was terrible, it started on Jan 5th and I'm still not really over it. I had a high temperature and pain in my joints, terrible headache and cough and even stomach ache.
I couldn't sleep properly and was just waking and sleeping at all kinds of strange times of the day and night and having nightmares.
I was barely able to wash myself and do my teeth, was so exhausted and the tiredness has been with me since but is now finally getting better.
So next year I am definitely getting the flu jab, OH had it this year and he didn't catch the flu from me so would recommend.
