Turning into a virus

[pd63]

Had flu jab today, 4th covid will be next followed by one off pneumonia.

Any more jabs and I'll turn into one

Got my fifth covid next Monday, not booked flu yet.

[Tapanac in reply to BobD]

5th covid. I thought we were only up to 4 ??? First vaccination, last winter booster, spring booster

Must have missed one ?

[BobD Volunteer in reply to Tapanac]

Us old gits (0ver 75 or with health problems) had four last year and fifth just happening.

[Tapanac in reply to BobD]

ha ha yes I’m one of those at 78

Best wishes Pat

I had my flu jab and 5th Covid jab on Saturday.

[Bagrat in reply to benmaise]

That's me this Saturday "if they have the vaccine"!

[Purpletara]

feel the same way! Had covid jab last Friday. Flu jab due on Tuesday but, just for a change, got a bowel screening kit thru the post!

[pd63 in reply to Purpletara]

hope your screen test is clear, I've just had colonoscopy, second one in a few weeks to get rid of a few polyps. Procedure was ok it's the laxative prep that's worse,

[BobD Volunteer in reply to Purpletara]

More through my own indolence I have three weeks between covid--_3rd Oct and flu 29thOct which I feel is a good idea.

[Purpletara in reply to BobD]

totally agree with you Bob. I’m going to re schedule my flu jab for another couple of weeks. Had a rough reaction (or good depending on how you look at it) to the covid jab last week.

[Purpletara]

I’m hoping it’s clear too. Had a few colonoscopies in the past and am not a fan! Think they’ve changed the prep - it used to be picolax - I came to hate that word!!! Never mind, it’s done and gone - just waiting for results.

Just had the flu Covid combo yesterday and like someone else here had the bowel test kit through the post and ….. a life insurance leaflet, an invitation to take part in an anticoagulation trial looking at the potential benefits the treatment may have in preventing/ slowing down dementia and finally a direct cremation flyer. I’m waiting by the letter box for today’s exciting delivery …..

[pd63 in reply to Hidden]

I'd go for direct cremation lol

[riffjack846]

Good luck.

Same here. Magic, though, really. Imagine the days before all this triumphant medicine when we were far too regularly reduced or even despatched by the likes of polio, smallpox, diphtheria and whooping cough. Science is our saviour.

what about Shingles. Fifth Covid done and dusted. Roll on flu jab

[pd63 in reply to Hylda2]

Didn't know there's a shingles jab, had it anyway

[Hylda2 in reply to pd63]

husband had shingles but was still offered flu jab

[Hylda2 in reply to Hylda2]

sorry shingles jab. They say better safe than sorry

[BobD Volunteer in reply to pd63]

Shingles jab is age dependent. I can't remember how old I had to be to be offered it. maybe 70? Once only I think.

[Nannysue1]

Had my booster Covid and seasonal flu vacs together a couple of weeks ago and a couple of months before that, my bi annual bowel test. Had the pneumonia vac, year before last.

Hope im all vaccinated up now. 🤪

[Jetcat]

Better to get the jabs than not I think.

I think it’s flu that’s going to be doing the rounds this winter.

First winter we’ve all been allowed round each other for a while.
