Flu jab?

[Jemisa]

Have you had your flu Jab yet? Do you have it every year (over 60s) or don't you bother?
Our Doctors surgery nurse has phoned to tell us injections are available all next week. We always go, although we have the occasional cold we never get the flu so will continue to have them.
What about you?

Had mine on Thursday and would recommend it as I used to be laid low for a week or so every year without fail. Since I've been having the jab I get only minor sniffles.

I had flu three or four years ago, which developed into pneumonia. I'm in my 40s and reasonably healthy and sturdy and "never" get ill, and it nearly finished me off! My wife had it too, and it was only when she recovered and I didn't that I went to the doctor and discovered the pneumonia.

I can see how it could kill the elderly and infirm. Now I pay for a jab every year, and would strongly recommend anybody to get protected (even if they have to pay).

O A Ps don't have to pay. Its news to me that 'Boots' and 'Tesco' do them at £8, do they have a nurse there to do them?
I do hope all those that are entitled to free jabs do have them. If you do get flu because you "couldn't be bothered" think of others you could be infecting, your nearest & dearest babies who can't fight it off...

I paid £10 at Tesco! I must live in a posh part of the country. Somebody posted on another thread they can be had for £6 at Asda.
