Anyone worried about this new flu?

[Starrynight999]

So my kids in 2022 had flu A and my 2 year old got sepsis after being ignored by doctors s just a virus for a week after multiple trips, he recovered and he is ok.. skip to last year they then got flu A again a much milder strain but we’re still very poorly and now this year it’s everywhere again and seems to be an awful strain and I’m just dreading it.. before anyone says.. non of us are vaccinated we are to to date with all vaccinations and I’m really not an anti vaxer.. but I don’t know how I feel about the flu spray if I’m honest.. doesn’t look like they are working much.. I’m just also anxious about it.. how is everyone else feeling?

My friend from uni caught flu and developed ME/CFS as a result. She now uses a wheelchair a lot of the time.

I’m not concerned personally because I’ve had the vaccine.

High five. I’ve had dengue.

Just keep their immune system topped up with good probiotics and elderberry syrup and most kids recover in full .

Gamble with your kids health?? Have you read the many parents that have been vaccinated and also had their kids vaccinated and the flu has absolutely floored them, just as it has floored the parents/children that are unvaccinated!! God created our immune system to fight diseases without vaccines, keep the needles away from your children. Everyone please read an amazing book by Suzanne Humphries called “Dissolving illusions” it’s a real eye opener

So you are saying if you have had the jab you are more likely to get the flu???

Ok 🫩

Can I ask - can babies be vaccinated against flu? My 4yo has had the vaccine but i‘m worried about my 7 month old…

I bet you’d have them vaccinated if we had to prove flu jab status to go on holiday

I would like my 2 year old to have it but she isn’t eligible as she wasn’t 2 on 31/8!
I’ve also been trying to get an appointment for myself as people seem so worried about this years strain so it’s worrying me! Normally not a worrier and have never had the flu.

There are no appointments!! Only for eligible people.. I’m happy to pay but there are none within 40 miles of us. I’ve found free ones that I can book but will they turn us away as we’re not eligible?
I also don’t want to take the vaccine away from people who need it more but I wonder how I could book it at all through patient access if it’s only for eligible people??

I'm not concerned about it particularly, but I've taken the flu jab from work and had the kids vaccinated. No, I didn't vaccinate my kids against COVID because that was nuts and did huge (and clearly lasting) harm to vaccine confidence in the general population.

I’m worried about my one year old. He’s the only one in the family who hasn’t had the vaccine since they don’t do it for under 2s. Yet he’s the most vulnerable.

It’s really difficult to find somewhere that will do it. I have the same concerns.

Yes, if you have chosen not to vaccinate your children because you've swallowed a load of anti-vax misinformation, then you are absolutely gambling with their health. I hope for their sakes that none of your dc suffer serious consequences as a result of your irresponsible decision-making.

I doubt that many people will be reading the anti-vax crap that you're so eager to promote.

Wow totally shocked given the circumstances you haven't taken up the flu spray and jab. Yes it isn't 100% effective and won't necessarily stop the infection but it will decrease the severity and it sounds like your children are very prone to complications from flu A. I'd be ringing round trying to find an appointment OP.

My son had Influenza A ended up in ICU contracted double pneumonia nearly died! I dot Influenza A ended up in hospital. Unfortunately we were both called for the vaccines after he was in hospital (so just too late)!! We've had them now though. The vaccines also made us ill - but there's a reason the vaccines are there!

Get the damn vaccines - the alternative is unspeakable! The end.

funny turn?

I wasn’t too bothered about the Covid vaccine until I caught Covid. I’ve never felt so ill and it took months to get over it and some symptoms still linger. Husband caught it at the same time and it was like a mild cold. Vaccines don’t necessarily stop you catching the flu but it can be much milder. If you are that worried get the vaccine. I pay for the Covid one every year now.

Did you have the vaccine?

people who need it more will have had it in September.

This.

Stop taking risks with your DCs’ health and get them vaccinated.

My DS got covid just before he was scheduled to have the first jab. I was surprised how ill he was - in bed for several days, vomiting, flu type symptoms, persistent dizziness. I was having to hold him up to get him to sip drinks. I had him vaccinated on the first day he was eligible after recovery. We’re in Liverpool but I drove him to St Helens as there was availability there.

I had Covid after two vaccinations. I was hardly ill.

I’ve paid for DS now 17 to have the flu jab this year as sixth formers don’t get the spray. I’ll be paying for Men B before he goes to uni.

I would contact your GP. I may be wrong for babies but I'm pretty sure DD had the nasal spray at the doctors every year until she started school.

I'm not here to comment on the vaccinations specifically but surely if you have a concern about an illness that made your DC very poorly in the past and you know there is a vaccine that is likely to reduce the risk you would get it for your DC if they are otherwise healthy and haven't reacted to that vaccine in the past.

No such this as turbo cancer,.
And I have every vaccine going and i never "ended up " more ill.
God the absolute RUBBISH from the cult is insane.

There isnt a chance in hell any doctor said it caused it. You are just spouting that crap to try back up your BS.
Every single one of those illness happen to people, because people can get sick.
Nothing to do with vaccines and everything to do with being a human.
Get a grip.

Children didn’t seem to be badly affected by Covid, it was older people at more risk. With flu, young people can be very badly affected. During the1920s flu A pandemic young people seemed to do worse than older people.
