Just been down and had my flu jab ,never bothered me in previous years ,but I feel really weird with this one ... drowsy and floppy . Ohhhh dearrrrrrr
At school in Hong Kong in the 60's and 70's we had cholera jabs every 6 months, and the TABT (tetanus, typhoid and something else) every 3 years I think. Sore arms for the TABT but the cholera jab was no problem. Yellow fever jab for going through the Panama Canal though, that was a real bummer.
Just booked my flu jab for later this month. I'd rather a couple of days mild discomfort (if I get it) than the 2 weeks that a dose of real flu tends to knock me out for.
You can also go to the chemists and pay for itI contacted my GP and local pharmacy this morning and they have both run out. When they get some in, they will be prioritising over 65's. I wonder if I could "self ID" as being over 65?

If your eligable for a flu jab from your GP then its free at chemists.You can also go to the chemists and pay for it
I'd much rather avoid sneezing people as I've got the luxury of that now and make sure my vitamin and mineral levels are topped up. I'll be fine thanks.
I'm still trying to get mine ! GP practice aren't doing them - it's all being organised by the HealthBoard and the Practice Nurses have been taken out of their Practices and are working in Vaccination Centres throughout the area. It's so well organised that the Teams are turning up and then discover the appointment letters have not been sent etc etc !!
I'm scheduled for jab this afternoon.
I have been invited by Doctor's surgery to a drive through flu jab clinic being held on a local private estate. If you're the driver, you get it in the right arm. If the passenger, in the left arm. Interesting approach. Certainly makes me feel safer than entering the surgery.
People who are spreading the Chinavirus due to a could not care less attitude are seen as pariahs. People who generally cough, sneeze, splutter etc. without covering their virulent face holes should also be treated as pariahs.
Mine will be in the surgery (well, that's the current plan!). Wear a mask and loose clothing so the time in there is as short as possible - I'll be wearing a short sleeve shirt and a gilet, with a suitable top layer if necessary!
