Re: Flu vaccinations are early this year.

The thought of having alien material pumped into my body or the basis that it MIGHT prevent something is horrible.

The risk of that material (liquid) which may be already contaminated, as I guess they don't test every sample , is far higher than what it is supposed to prevent.

If it was to save a life then that is a different matter as well I know

A human body builds up its own antibodies to prevent the body from getting a lot of illnesses and the flu jab takes that that prevention away .

Just ask your Dr how long it lasts for and you will not get a definate time because they can't. May only work for a couple of days or a few months.

FLU jabs ? steer well clear. I would want to know a hell of a lot more first
Such as =
when was the vaccine made
Is it near the use by date or past it already
what is the "life spam" of the vaccine
how long does it work for in a human body
What checks have been made on that particular batch
How many times has it been handled
How secure was it stored to prevent contamination
What reaction may some bodied have to it
would mine react badly
Does blood type make a difference
would previous illnesses cause concern that it might not work

I have taken the flu jab in the past but i'm always unsure whether or not I'm doing the right thing, there are so many conflicting arguments, just like this damn Covid-19, the conspiracy theorists are making me confused

I have had the flu jab every year since they began. I have never had the flu ,or any adverse reactions to the jab..... but as a diabetic catching flu could kill me.
If you have any concerns speak to your doctor, because a flu pandemic could cause as many deaths as Covid 19 !

Re: Flu vaccinations are early this year.

I have been having a flu jab since my early 50s when I was caring for my Dad. My doctor suggested it to ensure I didn't get flu and couldn't visit Dad every day. No bad effects and no flu since - I had 2 episodes of flu before that and it was so bad I wouldn't want to experience it again.

I would never refuse the jab.

Re: Flu vaccinations are early this year.

A virus can evolved into different strains, How do Dr's know it work on a new strain of the virus if the vaccine has not been tested against it?

Do you go to the same place as me? We are more likely to get run over than catch the virus.

The surgery my friend attends is doing a drive-through service where they have to stay in the car.
You might catch a cold.

Nobody is forced to have the Jab realspeed it is personal choice. What I never understand is why people, who don't want it, always try to persuade the rest of us not to.
