Does anyone with pbc gett offered the flu jab by their gp
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.
I do.
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.
I got my first flu (yearly) and pneumonia (every 10yrs) jags last month although I was diagnosed last summer. I did ask last year but my dr said it was up to the consultant and my consultant said it was up to my dr! This yr I just asked my dr and got both. X
