Flu Jab

[5029]

Can anyone get this on request or so you have to be elderly?

I think anyone can get it, but you have to pay for it if you're under a certain age.

Anyone can get the jab, if they're prepared to pay for it. That's why there's been a lot of talk of getting the jabs in supermarkets. You don't have to be elderly to get it for free, though. You can get it if you have certain medical problems, e.g. if you're asthmatic. If you're not sure if you need it or not, it's probably best to have a word with your doctor.

i used to live in Dorking Surrey and they came round our office and gave us it all for free - i think they had a surplus! gotta be worth a phone call i reckon

IMHO if you can't get it for free, you don't need! Just eat healthy, take some echinacea, vit C if you start to feel run down and you shouldn't get it too bad! It's only flu, if your healthy it should've be a prob. I'd rather not be injected with a cocktail of inactivated flu virus, mercury (one of the most toxic things known to man), gelatin, formaldehyde, polyethylene glycol p-isooctylphynyl ether (similar to antifreeze) etc without a good reason!!
