Flu jabs...

[Aahh99]

I've never bothered with the flu jab myself, as I'm quite a well person generally.
I did have the flu jab once and I was ill all winter, so of course it put me off and I've never bothered since. (personal.choice,dont shoot me!)

I'm Currently 27 week's pregnant and seen the doctors have a clinic this morning.
Obviously with the state of the world at the moment, plus pregnancy I'm thinking of popping down.

Also have my 2 year old, and unsure about whether to get him done too.
He doesnt go to nursery and obviously we've aren't mixing like we used to...
Are you getting your toddlers done?

I am a fit and healthy 34 year old. I eat well and I exercise. I’m rarely ill. I got flu last winter and I ended up in hospital. It took me 4 months to fully recover. You don’t want flu, trust me. For a toddler it’s not even a jab it’s a nasal one. My son had it a couple of day ago. No side effects whatsoever.

I've just had the flu jab. I'm older but it was fine for me.

Just a quick question while your body is mounting a response to the live virus from the flu vaccine is your immune system compromised in that if you got covid at the same time you'd be less likely to fight it off. I say this as both are virus

The flu vaccine isn’t a live virus.

The nasal flu spray that children have is a weakened version of the live virus.
