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!

That is very common and therefore no, I've never had it. There are many strains, you get vaccinated for one and get another. Plus the jab reaction as you have it. The only people I know who get them work in healthcare.

@CrazyMusicLover You acknowledge the risk of para-influenza like symptoms, therefore you don't get the jab.

We acknowledge the risk of para-influenza like symptoms, so the real possibility of being able to request sick leave both after the jab, and if/when we'll get the mild version of actual influenza

We're not the same

@Elessar I don't have sick leaves 😬

@CrazyMusicLover Here it depends if you're self employed or not. Obviously the first don't get it. Everyone else does.

Then, for instance I use it very conservatively (rarely sick 🤞), in certain environments instead (notoriously public transportation, municipal offices) the situation somewhat reflect the stereotype
