Flu Jab - Yay or Nay?!?

Hi all,

I'm currently fighting a really bad cold-flu bug thing on top off everything else! Just been to tesco to buy some drugs to help me cope and have booked a flu jab.

What is the thought on these when you have Endo? Worth the money? (It's only £9!)

Hi,

I get a flu jab every year (free) as I have chronic asthma. TBH I just think anything that lessens any potential other illness is good!

I would never. the odds of it being the right strain of flu is very small and it's not worth the side effects.

I get the flu jab every year free on the NHS as I have asthma and touch wood I have never had any side effects I even had the swine flu jab the other year and again no side effects. If I didn't get it free I would probably pay to have it's one less thing to have to worry about as I had flu a number of years ago and was laid up for 2 weeks.
