Re: Flu vaccinations are early this year.
My wife went to the surgery yesterday to ask why she's not been informed about the jab by phone. They said no jabs were available till the end of this month, and they were not taking bookings. Boots & LLoyds pharmacies are doing an e-mail waiting list for the flu jabs. I'm not having it myself, as 3 years ago, after having it, I felt desperate.Not had it since. The stories from some folks are worrying.

Re: Flu vaccinations are early this year.
Well, I have to admit that my self inflicted Flu symptoms and planned stint on the sofa with grapes being fed to me didn't materialise.Apart from feeling a little more tired than usual last night and a slight ache in my arm (the opposite arm to the injection
) nothing happened. In fact, I felt better than any previous time I had it.

Re: Flu vaccinations are early this year.
I spoke to my doctor (on the phone) today.He again offered me the vaccination and I said I was concerned because whatever they have added this year, seems to be making more people poorly.
He said Yes, but it's still better than having the Flu!

Re: Flu vaccinations are early this year.
I had my flu jab on 26th Sept & had a tender red patch, the size of my palm, for 5 days..... but it disappeared by 1st Oct.I appreciate that some people have unpleasant reactions to them, but they seem to panic, thanks to all the anti flu jab rubbish they can read on the internet.
We have a personal choice about having the flu jab, so if you don't want one, don't have one. I have had one every year, with no real problems & it certainly won't give you flu.
Mups's doctor is right, flu will be much worse than any reaction to the jab!

If I hold my hand over a lighted candle, it won't be as bad as if I stuff it into a fire....So I avoid hot things altogether!
I've never had the flu jab and never caught the flu, so my theory must be working...
And now I wear my mask, I'm pretty much indestructible....
