Getting my next flu shot and covid booster 11/16. I have always gone in for my flu shots and never had a problem
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
Nope and I won’t be getting one. I had 3 flu shots in my mid-30’s and got paraflu all winter each time. Something that they don’t warn you about. And developed rheumatoid arthritis at that time as well.

Never had one, never will.
My immune system is there for a reason.

@Lilnonames aw i see how you might think that, that could have been bad.
They really should let yes know when others, (blocked ones) have posted.
Could cause many issues the way it’s read.

@Notsimilarreally THE point is that the older you are the more chance covid has of affecting you.
That's because your immune system weakens as you age.
Now. Because i live in the UK, we have this wonderful health system that doesn't require us to do anything.....other than keep the Doctor up to date on where we're living.
That's because anything you need from immunity jabs as a child through to vaccination for nasties like covid is all logged on a national computer and if the health service decides there's likely to be another evolution of covid, when there's a new vaccine available, those most at risk get it first then those older and so on.
It IS interesting how the YOUNGEST are so far behind their parents in terms of the #of jabs they've had. Personally i think this is either because the government insist that 'herd immunity' is supposed to protect them. OR that the government is trying to save money by not vaccinating those with supposedly the stronger immune systems among us.
Why is all that relevent ?
My Son is married. Has two children. And works for an employer so unscrupulous as to have engineers from Asia in the same workspace as he is !
Yet they take no responsibility for health and safety because the government gives business endless cop-outs in an attempt to make even more money.

@Picklebobble2 5 injections within 2 years?? Wow. Thats dedication
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
@gol979 It's a worry !
How many of these things are you supposed to be at risk from ?
Why are they fannying around with temporary jabs for every version of covid rather than developing an innoculation like the MMR (one jab protection against three diseases) that wouldn't require so many jabs ?
Why is a nations health being compromised just to accommodate business from Asia ?

4meAndyou · F
Yes, I went in to the Dr. to get a referral to a specialist, and they offered me the flu shot, so I took it. I really, really don't want the flu!!! The vaccine they were offering was extra strength, they said.
RubySoo · 56-60, F
Ive been having it for about 12 years. I'm asthmatic so flu floors me. I havent had any adverse effects from the jab.
Ontheroad · M
Yep, got mine just a couple of weeks ago... get it every year and to date, no ill effects and never got the flu.

Notsimilarreally · 31-35, F
No. I avoid jabs. I don't get sick
BizSuitStacy · M
I get the flu shot. For some reason, I'm susceptible to the flu. I used to get pretty sick 2-3 times per year. Started getting the flu shot a few years back, and now I don't get it.
pearllederman · 61-69, F
i havent had one in yrs, the last time i had it my arm swelled up for wks, since i never get it anyways i figure why put myself thru that
Pherick · 41-45, M
I get mine every year. Winter colds already knock me for a loop, I don't want the actual flu.
Mamapolo2016 · F
I've had flu shots for years and other than a bit of soreness at the injection site, no problems.
bowman81 · M
I had it in early October. Had a sore arm for a couple of days but nothing bad.
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
NHS in England say flu jabs available via booking online from Monday 13th November

Handfull1 · 61-69, F
I got my Covid booster but not the flu jab yet. Personally, I think it’s a crap shoot on all. I hate cocky people that are so defiant about it but I’m not saying it’s safe either. We won’t know for many years.
SkeetSkeet · 100+, F
I heard it will cause my dick to deflate
