Well.....as i was in my doc's about a month ago....and as i've had flu for the last two years running....i got persuaded.....as its free this year (the gov apparently has worked out it costs more in lost days not at work due to flu, then if they pay for the jab)

Also got tricked into having a pnemonia jab as well 

@Millwall.......you could be unluncky there....as nursey that stabbed me, told me it takes a few weeks to work 

Im ok so far

I had mine last week and I'm fine.
 
My sky install was perfect.
 
God, there's some moaning backstuds on here.

  Peerless.

Got my 5th annual flu jab the other week.  Barely had a sniffle for the past years, as I recall, let alone full on flu.  Also got the pneumonia jab this time.  Had double pneumonia as a 10 year old (was a tad fraught at the time, apparently, bit touch and go...).  Was told the other week that there are 23 or so varients of pneumonia and I had contracted only one as a 10 year old.

Was advised that I 'may' get a sore arm if there was a reaction between new and old but, frankly, nothing noted.

Nursey did say, however, to ensure that you only get the pneumonia jab once and once only.  A repeat WILL give you a VERY sore arm, by all accounts....

I used to have the 'flu every year without fail, but, for the last 7 years since having 'flu jabs, I've been clear

[Gaffers]

I have heard that the strain this year is very similar to last year's.  The jab is not for everyone really.  As a community health prevention measure you cannot deny it is essential, especially for those who are vulnerable.  As someone who is immunosupressed I am really considering having it for the first time.

Had mine yesterday. Never any drama other than a slightly sore arm for a day or two.

Given the choice between that and the risk of flu+asthma I know what I'd rather have.

I'm a walking cold virus for 8 months of the year 
I don't why but i've been the same since I was used as a pin cushion in the first week of joining the RAF 
Before that, I don't think I had more then 5 days in total off school due to illness 

I have only had "flu" maybe 5 times in 45 years so I suppose i'm either lucky or have built up a tolerance to the basic virus 

Anyway,  show me a needle and i'll run a mile
