Crashuk Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Flu Jab Do you get the annual Flu jab or not bother or don't trust it ? I had it in October, but that last few days have been laid up with Flu like systems. So my thinking is, is it worth it ? your thoughts plz ?

bob6600 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I had no choice, doc said you have to have it as it flagged up. No harm, it's all for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Never had the jab and cant remember the last time I got the flu ...probably just jinxed myself now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corskey Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I just get on with it, though I haven't had it bad for some time. Always a little concerned about injecting a virus, albeit a dead one into my body, though might have to rethink things in a few years when I'm an old begger.

piggzy Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Fuck no. The offer me it due to a health condition. didnt bother for years then thought I would. Had worst flu of my life and felt like shit for 3 months. Not had it since and not had the flu either. They are playing a lottery with that kind of shit imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xr4x4 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I don't like needles, hence why I haven't had a doctor since 1990.. so, never had the flu jab and I usually get the flu once a year with the odd sniffles here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it every year but the last two years I seem to cop a good ol dose of flu. Maybe I don't have flu maybe something else? how do you tell ?

ktv303 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Never had one. Probably should get it though cause it flies round my work on an annual basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I've got asthma so they pretty much force it on me every year. No flu yet so must be working. Did get a shitty cold over xmas/new year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
