Never. Probably worry rather than the jab.

Had mine on Tuesday no problem....I went in for my INR check and the nurse said "Don't know if you should have this but the form only says heart problems and is not specific, its free and it could save you from a dose of the flu ...Happy Days

Had Flu jabs for past 6years and (touchwood) no side-effects.

I'll be having my first one when I get back to work! Eek!

No, had jabs for years. But I'm not bothered by needles. I'd guess more the worry than the jab.

I have just phone my GP surgery asking if I'm entitled to a free flu jab and they said No!!

I didn't have one last year(forgot, then it was too late) but did have one in 2011 +2012. I had both of those on a walk in basis at my local Sainsbury's pharmacy, costing £15, no rhythm disturbances to report.

I've always had flu jabs and it's never brought on AF.

Have always had flu jabs before and after AF started. No problems. Had one episode of PAF started after nasty viral infection(in spite of flu jab!). Cardio said it was the virus but I wonder about dehydration too. Would definitely have the jab.

similar no issues with jab , but viruses of any kind are another matter - well worth having in my view.

Not what you're looking for?
