Flu Jab

[QAQA]

I’m thinking about getting the flu jab but like to read up on things first.

I’ve had two different views from therapeutic therapy professionals one for and one against.

My main concern is I feel bad enough as it is with this dizziness and I honestly think if I get a cold it will floor me.

I’d welcome anyone’s thoughts or views on getting the jab for or against.

Has anyone had the jab, did you react to it, did it help you?

None of our local chemists have it in stock. My gp surgery still can't offer dates. I'm going to have to book out of town I think.

I had my flu jab Tuesday evening
Stung a bit but no problems after at all

I'm booked in to have mine at the surgery on Wednesday, I'm in the at risk category, but when I spoke to the surgery a few days ago re booking my sons in for their flu jabs I was told that they hadn't had the vaccines delivered by that point, the delivery had been due and then the date was put back so I'm not optimistic that there'll be a vaccine there on Wednesday.

They couldn't offer an appointment for my sons so I've taken the one to Tesco this morning and he's had his done there, the other is going to make arrangements after work this week.

If I get a call cancelling my appointment at the surgery then I'll go to a pharmacy, I don't want to leave it much longer. As it is, I'm already having it about a month later than usual.
