mary1947 2,079 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Just been reading comments on Flu Jab can any of you remember before we had this jab and people did get Flu a lot of people died, now I worked with a nurse, and she would say if you do have a cold when you are given the jab it only makes the cold worse, each year they wait to see what strain of Flu will be coming along before they make up the vaccine. If any of you went private for your Flu Jab it cost's £5 00 px £10 for the jab and £5 00 for the chemist and these amounts were in 2000. So its up to you either you have it or you don't.

catfan 14,793 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Of course Mary. No one is forced to have the jab. Free choice & all that ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Because of our health problems, I'm pretty sure that if either of us caught the real flu, it would probably finish us off. At the moment we are just in the throes of some chest virus going around. It is knocking us both about.Chris is sleeping just now and his chest is very bad, he had another heart attack scare a few weeks back, so it is taking its toll on him. My chest is very sore and just had another sleepless night because of it. My dickey ticker has been really going the game for about four days now, so flu is a really scary prospect for us. We darn't turn the jab down, just in case we leave ourselves open to the dreaded flu. I just hope everyone with or without the jab can manage to avoid contracting the flu. Very difficult if you have to go out among the public. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Had it myself for the last fortnight. First time out yesterday afternoon since Christmas Day. Nice to feel the fresh air, but it took its toll on me, and still very weak. Never mind, I must venture out while it's sunny and pay my lottery. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I said to Mrs C this morning since my flu jab the other day I feel on top of the world, I could do with a flu jab every week ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Just read that the Aussie flu is spreading in the U.K. There are several hotspots particularly in parts of Scotland with several people very ill in hospital, but also in some Southern counties of England. Experts seem to agree that the best way to avoid it is to have the jab...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I was just reading a news article here that says there are many sick across the USA with "Flu like symptoms." Emergency rooms are getting overloaded. When samples are taken and tested the flu virus is only found in relatively few cases, and some of them have had the flu jab. So then the question becomes. If it isn't the flu, what is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Received an appointment letter for a MRI scan at the City Hosp in a week or two. Remembered the last time I thought those machines are a bit claustrophobic , like laying in a coffin, not enough room to swing a cat around !
