That caught me off guard.I knew if I went out the shop I wouldn't go back, so on the spur of the moment I decided to risk it. To my surprise, it was quick, painless, and other than my arm ached to lay on at night for a couple of nights, I was fine.
I dare say I will still dither about next year again though.
You and Marge, that is.
Mine didn't hurt either and I have still felt nothing today.

Re: Flu vaccine
I have had the jab for the past five years because there is no age restriction in our local health centre. If you ask, you will get it. I had a much lesser reaction than Mrs LD, I think as she is older than me, she may have had a different version.One thing I have noticed this year is the lack of people walking around spreading a cold. I'm guessing that must be due to the wearing of face masks.

I agree about the spreading of colds this year, but as you say, I suspect that is more to do with the masks, plus more people staying home or distancing than having the Flu jab.

It should never have been acceptable really. I don't know what's it's like in Australia but over here, bosses always get very upset if anyone rings in sick with a cold or flu. They would much prefer that you went to work anyway and spread your germs to everyone else.
