As for the vaccine shots, you have to do your own risk assessment and I decided to have it as better to give you some protection rather than none.
I'm surprised Margaret P that you have not, at least, had the pneumonia shot seeing as you appear to be susceptible to chest infections. A big killer in the elderly.
There are no risks... my daughter (Practice Nurse) has done a great multitude of these plus MMR for children and, up to press, not one bad reaction .. go figure.
Bit confused re. Chris's 'invitation', if no problems as described by Sue ... only thing I can think of is that the doctor has overbought (yes, they have to buy these), and they are offering them to less vulnerable patients to reclaim their investment. |
Yes Kate, I do get Chest infections, but I do what you say.......I assess the risks to myself of having such a vaccine.....I choose not to have it. (for reasons which I won't bore you with). I choose not to have it because I have a choice...(it has nothing to do with needle phobia - I don't like needles, but I am not phobic of them).
Everyone has to make the decisions for themselves. I have made mine.
