Back to the op:

Yes, Georgiesmum. I have had them for several years now and have had no problems with them nor the 'flu.
Yes, had the jabs, never had flu or any other problem.
ABerrant, aren't you the strange one? Never posted a question on here despite joining 4 years ago, dear? Sorry to disappoint you,dear, I must try checking those usernames but give me one good reason why you shouldn't be reported to the Ed? Making unfounded accusations like that,dear.
Never had a flu jab, never had flu, get the occasional sniffly cold for a couple of days but nothing more.

The company I work for are paying for all (who want to) to have the jab at local Boots. It's in their interest to keep the workforce in work.
Mass, I would take advantage of their offer. Flu is terrible. Take my word :)
Mass agree with ttfn, do it.

Victor Au Revoir.
Oh dear ;)
Thanks ttfn, i'm 51 i'm gonna risk it.
Don't you just know this will be the year now!!
Mass, go for the jab......flu is no joke. The jab doesn't hurt and might give you a mildly stiff arm for a few hours.
My jab is tomorrow morning - 8 a.m. but I will be there :)
Im tempted to buy it? Im young, but care for folk & dont want time off xx
I'm surprised you can't get the jab free Tinks, on the NHS, we'll pay.
Don't they offer it to health professionals?
I agree with you Mass. Would have thought it desirable with the temperature in hospitals plus all those germs
Not at work anyhow? Mabye if i asked my GP. Dont really mind paying the £10...... Do you self admin it then if you get from asda or tesco!?

Food for thought! Id take any jab tbh in my job to keep us all safe x
No Tinks, they have there own pharmacies and someone to do it for you.
With working for the NHS we are offered them and expected (but not forced) to have them done. Some have had reactions, some not. I always get it done though. Im not gonna say ( Ive never had flu yet ) though, cos you always know what happens when you say things like that. lol :>)
Short answer YES.

Long answer imagine having the flu and being off work, then the kids get it and you have to take time off to look after them. Or worst case you all get it at the same time then youhave to look after them and feel like c***, so yes it is worth it.
I'm undecided every year and end up not having one.
How do you know the jab has really protected you? I had flu about 15 years ago...never had a jab since then, luckily never had the flu again either.
My surgery is having some sort of open flu jag session on Saturday the 6th October. I got my letter/invitation through and will go.

Flu is awful and can be deadly. I hate it when people refer to bad colds or virus infections as 'the flu'. I have had the flu once as an adult and it was horrendous.

And I am not a crinklie/crustie/wrinklie - I am 'only' 49.
