ok carers will you be having the swine flu jab

[2shoes]

I noticed cares were on the list at my gp's and I can't decide

no.jab is still v. new and the supposed epidemic looks (touch wood) to be on the way out.

No thanks.

I got a phone call the other week and turned it down ,I get flu most years but just take contacs don't know whats in these jabs[got flamed by my sister for saying no to it]my dd who works in the local hospital has been told by one of the health care professionals that its been blown out of proportion and that no more people have died from swine flu than die every year from the usual seasonal flu, didn't surprise me.

Had to have it for work and was/am fine.

I had the jab, the day it came out actually, as I was in for my seasonal jab anyway.

No. People in DD1's classroom have already gone down with it months ago, so she's been exposed.

Next season, when it is out in time, I probably will.

Had it already.
Dd and ds already had the flu i think

Had it and I'm fine - if I get bad flu dd2 will have to go to hosp to be looked after.

yes had it with my DD last week, arm blummin hurt for 4 days after

I heard that it will come back again, so had it done

i wasnt going to bother but when i took ds for his Celvapan (egg free version) they asked me if i wanted it too as the bottle was open.
side effect wise me and ds both had a stomach ache for a few hours after but other than that we have both been fine. my arm was a bit red around the site but not sore or anything.

All the staff at ds's old nursery had the Pandemrix one and most of them were quite ill and off work the next day.

no.

oh dear, I still can't decide....

Had it and I was fine - except for feeling like I'd gone 10 rounds with Frank Bruno, constently punching me in the same spot - OUCH!!!!! DS has just been offered it but he's off into hospital next tuesday for surgery so I'm not sure if he should get it before, after or at all. Looking into the pro's and con's .

I've had it, ditto DH and DD1 as well as DD2 who's in the 'at risk' category. We were all fine.

Haven't decided yet.

Yes, have had it at work already. Also persuaded my husband to have it too. Did have a sore arm for about 2 days but felt fine.

Swine flu numbers are decreasing in our area at the moment and they are about to tail off the vaccination prgramme at the hospital where I work.

no and ds2 has not received it either

no. and children not having it either.

I might be more likely if swine flu numbers were increasing rather than steadily deceasing.

Actually I probably wouldn't

No one has offered it to me but DS1 has no health issues that an NT 5 year old would not have so not sure why I would need it more than anyone else - DS2 has had it and cats are getting a flu jab this afternoon !

DD2 and I have both had it with no problems.

no and we was not offered it even though ds2 and ds3 and dd are in high risk groups
