Re: Flu Jab
I was told to have the flu jab because of looking after my mum and because of the epilepsy. So when the nurse came out to give it to my mum she said i might as well do yours as well. 3 months later i was in bed with the flu!! Didnt get out of bed for four days. Mum ended up in a home for 2 weeks just in case she got it. So 10 months later when the doc said i'll book you in for your flu jab i said no thanks. Everytime the doc mentioned it i said no. Anyway a couple of years ago he said the flu jab and i said no thanks and he said that because if mum got the flu there was a good chance she would end up in hospital. So i agreed to have it. Next thing new years day everyone round im not feeling so well - ended up in bed for 4 days again! I only get flu when i have the flu jab. Doc offered it again this year and i said no. But yet mum had the flu jab and wasnt ill at all with it.
Cyfr the flu jab is strains of the flu that was going round last year. It is supposed to stop you getting the strains of that flu. If you do get flu then it isnt supposed to be as bad as if you didnt have the flu jab.
