Thanks for your replies, I really appreciate it. I had a bad response to a typhoid and cholera vaccination 25 years ago and have avoided vaccinations ever since. I need to now get over this hurdle. It sounds strange to people who know me that I am reacting like this as in relation to the lung cancer diagnosis I have said yes to very thing without a worry.

Thanks again

Before leaving for for a holiday in Crete, I asked my nominated care Doctor whether I should have one - her response was to wait until we returned and decide then. I have been entitled to one for 4 years and still haven't bothered with one so far with no ill effects.

Thank you that's encouraging too.
