I was diagnosed with PBC in 2008, because the Dr's term this as a chronic illness, that year I was given the flu jab and the pneumococcal vaccination. Subsequent years I have been given the swine flu and flu jabs (it is now one vaccination for both). My latest injection was just last week.

My husband has Cirrhosis due to some form of Auto-Immune liver disease, we both went and had flu jabs last week without side effect, we wern't invited for them just followed advice that those with liver disease/damage should get the jab and phoned up requesting one, there was no problem.
