Flu Jab Today Or Not?

[david small]

I can't determine should I have the influenza vaccine today or not. As in past injections I sometimes feel poorly. Ironically with flu like symptoms. Options please.

Perhaps a day of feeling poorly is better than having full- on flu.

Up to you. We had ours a few weeks ago.

I had flu once, I couldn't get out of bed to use the loo without help for a few days, took me weeks to get properly better. Lost over a stone. Hope I never get it again.

I have not had a flu jab since I stopped working over 20 years ago and have not had flu. It is a personal decision that only you can make. I did have the "required" three Covid jabs but no more.

[Peter Pedant]

two choices - you do or you dont

If you are old, have it

[douglas9401]

Definitely have it, a couple of days of mild discomfort against something a lot more serious.

I had flu about 45 years ago and the memory lingers.

I didn't have any reaction at all to my flu jab although I usually do. Not had any Covid jabs since the Moderna one over two years ago which (I think) gave me Long Covid.

I had the 2 jabs together a few weeks ago - felt a bit groggy for a couple of days but nothing serious.
