Flu And Pneumonia Jabs Tomorrow.

[Tilly2]

Have you had yours?

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, last week.

My son has a flu one tomorrow, as he has asthma.

[Baldric]

Mrs B and I are in for ours @ 11:30 tomorrow.

Anyone ever had a reaction to them, we never have?

[queenofmean]

Had the pneumonia one twice - does that mean I'm protected from double pneumonia?

But not yet, I've to go in 2 weeks, I could have had it yesterday but they read my notes from out of hours and said no :(

[Tilly2]

I haven't had the pneumonia one before. Never had a bad reaction to the flu jab.

[Eve]

Had my flu jab yesterday, pneumonia one some years ago. I've only ever had a sore arm that I can remember.

[Patsy33]

I didn't have one last year and not having one this year. My husband is as he has mild heart problems.

[Tilly2]

Is the pneumonia one, annual, or does it last for a lifetime?

[EDDIE51]

Flu jab last week, completely painless and no reaction.

[Tilly2]

Why are you not having the jab, Patsy?

[Eve]

I wanted to get in early with mine after hearing about Australia having a really bad flu season and that we tend to get similar to them (or something like that, I'm not very sciency!).

[Eve]

Pneumonia is a one off, that's what I was told. I had to have it with being on immune system suppressing medication.

[queenofmean]

Tilly, I believe it's a once and your done job. They made a b**b hence why I've had mine twice.

[Tilly2]

Thanks for that, Queenie and Eve.

[zebo]

The only time I had one I have never had such a bad dose of flu, since then, without the jab, I've rarely had more than a mild cough and cold.

[gness]

Hi, Tilly.....I have never had a flu jab despite it being suggested when MrG had no immune system....and I don't know why.....just a feeling I shouldn't.....x

[Patsy33]

Couple of years ago had flu injection but still got flu. They seem to keep getting it wrong re strain of virus. Didn't have it last year and I was fine. Call me sceptical but I've never really trusted it.

[Tilly2]

My dad died of aspiration pneumonia. I don't suppose there's a vaccine against that though.
I am quite happy to have both. If I get another strain of 'flu, then that's just hard luck.

[jno]

good heavens, is it that time of year again? Flu jab marks the start of winter for me. I've not heard of pneumonia jabs before. I did have pneumonia a few years back and it wasn't very nice, but that's the only occasion in my 127 years..

[marval]

We had our flu jabs two weeks ago, no ill effects.
