I wont be having the flu jab either now or in the foreseeable future ,its a waste of time ..my opinion ofc

As a child I had small pox, polio,and diphtheria jabs. I have no idea if I ever came into contact with these diseases, so cannot prove they worked, but my parents believed they were looking after my health and I am always glad that I had them. The risk of getting these awful diseases was never worth taking
The only way to prove that a flu jab doesn't work, for you, is if you get a severe case of flu and they can show, from testing, that it is one of the strains they have included in the jab you had.
I always think that, even if it is a waste of time, I would prefer to have it and avoid the risk, because "real flu" can actually kill people with poor heath conditions. If anybody had actually proved that the flu jab doesn't work, it would be printed in all of the newspapers.
Many people are afraid of injections, but I suspect we would all need more than one jab if we came down with Flu in an epidemic!

Re: Flu jabs
As I have already said, I have had the flu jab because it was free.I have just got home from having the anti shingles jab, also free.
But now I will have to go and have a blood test within the next couple of days.
Me thinks that they put stuff into me, and now they want to take stuff out.
