FLU JABS

[Georgiesmum]

Do you think these are worth having? Ive heard good and bad reports of them.

[Hopkirk]

Well I can't afford to have time off work so I'll be having one.

I had one last year, and didn't notice any ill effects.

[McMouse]

We are both having ours on Saturday and trust they will keep us safe for another year.

[Ellipsis]

Since I had the flu, I've had one every year. I do not want to repeat that experience!

[Jeza]

Micmak has a jab every year. He had it last Thursday the 27th, He said a bit achey for a day but well worth it.

[Georgiesmum]

Thanks everyone. I couldnt decide whether to have it done or not.

[paddywak]

Both Trish and I have had the jab for 8-9 years and never had either flu or after effects

[daffy654]

I don't usually have mine but am doing this year, tomorrow in fact.

[MissCommando]

My daughter and I have had an appt through for some reason. We're not going to have the jab though.

[Georgiesmum]

Do they notify you? Ive never been eligible. before.

[MissCommando]

We had a letter from our surgery saying date and time to be there. I need to cancel it to be honest.

[sandyRoe]

I think they are worth having. I'll go for mine when I get the letter.

[Giggsie]

hubby an I had them for a few years now never had a problem. Will be getting them again on 22nd October.

[Jeza]

When I took Mic for his jab there was a notice up that said "People who care can also have the jab" When I asked about it I was told I was not entitled because I was not in receipt of carers allowance. The reason I don't get it is because I haven't applied for Carers allowance.

[sandyRoe]

You should, Jeza.

[Mamyalynne]

Jeza they are wrong, impress on them the need, they will cave in - I had to do it.

[Ellipsis]

I pay £10 in Tesco Pharmacy for mine ...

[Jeza]

Only £6 in Asda, got it on Tuesday.

Thanks Mam. too late for me but maybe others will benefit from reading this.

[DaisyNonna]

Had mine. Slightly sore arm for 24 hours but well worth it. If I do not contract flu I cannot pass it on. Win win situation.

O/D ,OH + me have ours at W/W,docs run a coffee morning/raffle in aid of children in need at same time

[queenofmean]

Because of my diabetes I've had one every year since I was 3, only once have I had a semi nasty bout of flu, its worth it though hopefully get mine in 2 weeks
