Flu jab......are you for or against ?

[PeteXXX]

I'm awaiting the txt. I was in the surgery yesterday but forgot to ask.

Why didn't you post this before @Dave7 , it might have reminded me!!

 

[Blue Hills]

Eh ???

you said you'd taken a "herbal prevention" in previous years rather than had a jab.

 

[T4tomo]

parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. No-one gets flu in Scarborough

 

[midlife]

Had Covid booster left arm and flu jab right arm on Tuesday. My employer is very very keen its staff get done !

If you choose the right Herbs then they prevent you worrying about catching Flu✌️

 

[pawl]

Definitely for.

 

[oldwheels]

Had mine this year as usual. Due a booster covid one sometime but since I do not mix much with other people it is not too important perhaps. I do go to visit my son and family so perhaps better done when it comes available.

 

[Drago]

What do they charge? Have never had to pay for one, ever... Just curious!

You can get it in larger branches of Boots for about £9.

I get mine for free on the NHS, but because I do a bit of volunteering in Mrs D's school im treated as 'staff' and got my flu jab there last week.

 

[BrumJim]

Flip side for me. Never considered the 'flu jab before. I'm fit and healthy, and whilst getting the 'flu is deeply unpleasant, I considered it a rite of passage.

Will get one this year, as work is paying and my wife doesn't want to be knocked out for a week and suffer health reprecussions for the following month or two. Time to get booked in. COVID has reminded me that I need to look after the health of those around me, rather than just being selfish and looking after myself.

Waiting for an invitation. Anytime soon I guess.

 

[Dave7]

my surgery are doing the covid booster and flu jab at the same time for 50+ ers so yes will be having mine when I get the call

Our community matron told us DO NOT have both at the same time.......leave it at least 7 days.
I never thought to ask why.

 

[Alex321]

I had one first 4 years ago, when my daughter was (Successfully) fighting Hodgkins Lymphoma, so was very immunocompromised.

But now I'm old enough to qualify anyhow, I will be having it every year. Booked in for mid November with my local Lloyds pharmacy.

 

[Drago]

They're doing ours at the aame time, although in my case itll just be the covid booster. No disrespect to your community nurse, butnp my consultant GP was a professor at a twaching hospital for a while, so Im incluned to believe its ok if he twlls me it is.

 

[Dave7]

you said you'd taken a "herbal prevention" in previous years rather than had a jab.

Yes.....its a little white pill you disolve on the tongue.
Oct-Feb. Once a day for a week then once a week.
Recommended by a homeopath I 'trusted'.

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

I have had one every year for a while
wife's son had Covid booster and flu a few dyas ago - in separate arms

Our surgery hasn;t mentioned them yet and they are normally VERY keen on us getting them so I assume they haven't got their supply as yet

but as soon as they are offered I'll be there like a shot!
