I had it before a few years ago had it in the morning and by the evening I was in hospital as I couldn't breathe so I don't have it any more my doctor adviced me not to so I don't have it
Hi Ann, I see where you're coming from and am also a little bit apprehensive of flu jab at the moment because I have an infection. Suppose the best thing to do would be to ring your doctor's surgery and ask. But apart from that, delighted to hear you are feeling well after your recent bout of pneumonia.
Hi so sorry you have been so poorly. Pneumonia is really nasty and takes time to recover from. I would be guided by your doctor. To have the flu jab you should be well with no form of cold or infection. I have been having the flu jab for 50 years, yes that's right, and I have never had a reaction to it. I have, like everyone else fell ill weeks later and blamed the flu bug but really there is no danger of you being ill. There are some side effects but if you have had the jab before without problems you should be fine providing you are well at the time of the jab. Good luck and take care. Maximonkey
