Hi basically doctors rang yesterday to offer jab and I said yes and got a appointment at half 9 today but I've woke up with a cold. Anyone know if they will still give it to me?

The same thing happened to me on Monday and the guidance is that you can still have it if you haven't got a high temperature. The nurse checked mine before giving the injection and all has been fine so far! (still have a snuffly cold though). Good luck

My daughter is 16 weeks pregnant and has a bad cold,she had her jab yesterday, the nurse said it was ok, she is fine this morning.

I've had it now. I think there more concern about if you have a temp more then anythin. It was fine an didn't even hurt.

Just to reiterate - I had it when I had a cold, and the GP took my temperature, and decided it was fine.

It made my cold very slightly worse, but nothing to worry about.
