Flu jab

[Fitchick1]

Really useful article from Sue Brown giving advice and information about the flu jab. After being told by my consultant to have jab I had great difficulty explaining to the gp receptionist why a lupus sufferer needs the jab! Kept on being told lupus was not on her list and could have it if I paid for it!

My daughter has lupus and was advised to get the flu jab. Our GP was only too pleased to give her the injection. Her rheumy also suggested she have the pneumonia jab as she works with children which she has now had.

I have been diagnosed for a few years now and never had any problems getting my flu jab, got it two weeks ago. I did have itchy, hot skin round where I got it but its away now and feel fine.
