Swine Flu Jab

[hollie1586]

I am in 2 minds about having the swine flu jab! i will be having the seasonal flu jab but after hearing the stories about the swine flu jab, im not sure if i want it?!

Are these stories from a reliable source or Newspaper tittle-tattle?

Seriously though, I'd treat it much like seaonal flu. If you're in a vulnerable group or are in contact with vulnerable people you should take it.

If you're not - why bother?

at the moment its only the vulnerable people who are being advised by the medical profession to have it - i never have a flu jab anyway

Although personally I think it should be a condition of employment that health professionals have all the innoculations.

I have a father who is infirm with a lung complaint and have a friend who's father is on immuno-suppressant drugs.

When I hear of health professionals that they'd come into contact with not having the innoculations I get pretty cross!

I only get the flu jab because i am a carer for my dad
