Normally have appt. in September but none available...can't believe how weak and low I feel...plugged the nose...can barely move with all other OA bone aches...from teeth to my toes....Will try and ring(so difficult to get appts...) and have the Jab as had it for past few years as immune system compromised...Does anyone else here feel the benefits?

Hope you all having a better weekend and not suffering too badly!

I'm just getting over dry cough, sore throat and now cold sore on lip!! Haven't had my flu jab yet but will be having it very soon!! I think the jab has helped me stay 'flu-free' for a good few years so I always have it. Since developing o/a I do find it takes me longer to even get over a cold and, of course, getting older doesn't help. Hope you feel a lot better soon.

Hi CreakyBea

I have a lot of health issues and have the flu jab every year. I live in Ireland I don't know if you have a Boots Store anywhere near you but they also give the flu jab in Store. I don't know the cost but if getting an appointment it taking forever maybe that is an option for you to look at.

I have been having the flu jab for the last five years and thank god have never got the flu thought those around me did. As I have a compromised immune system and catch everything else going I reckon the flu jab does its thing.

God luck and take care
