Do you take the flu jab?

Had the flu jab and now I'm experiencing the flu.

I took paracetamol before the appointment too.

Ugh!

It would be worse if you hadn’t had the jab though. I get one every year, as well as a Covid jab, as I work in a hospital = a lot of contact with these conditions.
The jab doesn’t stop you catching these things, but it makes the symptoms a lot less harsh. Hope you’re ok x

@Oneofthestormboys yes I understand that, and tbh because I'm with child that's why I've taken it.

It will go very soon but for now I'm feeling very drained. The first day I was fine. Funnily enough walking like nothing not even a sore arm.

@Mellowgirl I get both of mine at the same time to get it over with - normally feel like crap for a day afterwards, then it’s fine.
