Are flu vaccines different around the world?
Are flu vaccines different around the world? In sense - are they made to work against the same strain of viruses? Or, perhaps - each region (i.e. Europe, Asia) expects a different virus strain and someone vaccinated against flu in Asia will not have much protection from that vaccine after traveling to

Special flu vaccine for CLL?
I’ve been waiting for my flu vaccine - and waiting and waiting. My GP practice sent for over 65s first. So my fit and well husband, with no underlying health issues has had his. Now they’ve moved on to children. When I queried why on Earth they aren’t do the extremely vulnerable group, the nurse said

Shingrix (Shingles) Vaccine
Hello. My nephrologist is recommending I get the shingles vaccine (2 doses as prescribed). I'm wondering if any post-transplant patients have received it already and if they had any reactions. Thank you. Kathleen

Hi everyone I am wondering when I should have a pneumonia jab? Would it be the same time as flu vaccine? I am on watch and wait and have been for 5 years. I have had flu vaccine each year but never pneumonia. I am also going to try and not go back to work for as long as I can. Seeing management on Tuesday

Flu Jab
What does everyone think about having a flu jab. If I take any sort of medicine it causes me problems so I am worried about having this and what effect it might have.

Study provides insight on how to build a better flu vaccine.
Flu season comes around like clockwork every year, and sooner or later everyone gets infected. The annual flu shot is a key part of public health efforts to control the flu, but the vaccine’s effectiveness is notoriously poor, falling somewhere from 40% to 60% in a typical year. A growing body of evidence

Flu jab
Many thanks for all the helpful replies, I'm resolved to have the flu jab this year as I'll never know if the jab triggered PMR and anyway I'm more at risk now especially this winter.

Flu shots?
i am curious. Do you get a flu shot? I am on ocrevus and neurologist says I should get one 6 weeks before my next infusion. I have never had a flu shot since i dont believe in them. I have heard too many bad stories. But now maybe i should get one. I would love to hear your comments, suggestions

Any studies on longterm effects of live shingles vaccine and PMR
I was wondering if anyone knows of any studies that have been done about those of us that contracted PMR after taking the live shingles vaccine. I wonder if PMR will last as long in our system as the shingles vaccine antibodies are active in our system? The pharmacist says the antibodies last 5+years

Hypothyroidism and post-birth control syndrome
Hi everyone, I have recently come off the pill (about 4 months ago) and have been experiencing terrible cystic acne and hair loss. I also have hypothyroidism and it's been 2 years of readjusting my dose and never getting it right. I always have had swollen lymph nodes which have persisted for years

Should I have the flu jab
I'm 63 and new to this group. I contracted PMR 2 years ago, a few days after having the flu jab. My doctor agrees that the flu jab may have triggered PMR but there is little evidence to confirm this and his advice is to have the jab again this Autumn (I didn't have it last year) as my immune system is

Shingles Zostavax injection
Am very appreciative of all the communications and information on this site. I developed PMR as a result of the shingles(zostavax) vaccine given at the same time as the flu vaccine even though I had two contraindications for administering zostavax. I am 80 years old ( Nice specifies not suitable for

Matt Hancock to bring into Law allowing Nurses and Pharmacists to give Flu Vaccine.
https://twitter.com/rcngpnforum/status/1298971404784852993?s=21 This is news to me, have Lloyd’s Pharmacy illegally been giving me the flu jab for the last three years and before that my GP’s Practice nurse?!😉

Flu jab early call-September!
I have been contacted already by my GP to get my annual flu jab. I have been called early because I have been shielding. I’m not complaining, just wondered if anyone else has had this conversation yet? Thank you😎

Shingles vaccine
Shingles vaccine. Hi am am ETJak2+, I am unable to have the live shingles vaccine with nhs, but I have read that there is an inert vaccine available. Has anyone had this on the nhs and if so how did you achieve it. Thank you in advance.

AIH diagnoses with asymptomatic patients, questions and my story
Thought I'd write here, I've been googling for a few weeks now about AIH and it's pretty hard to find support group forums other than this. I'm not from the UK, but cant find anything in my own country. I'd love to hear some stories how one got diagnosed with mild lft elevations and how long it took

"All is normal", so they say in the medical profession....
Hi everyone on this site, I'd like to introduce myself and ask for your opinion. I'v had Type1 Diabetes over 40 years now and Graves diagnosis in 2006 (in remission after 18 months treatment with Carbimazole), so I was told that I must have predisposition to other autoimmune conditions and I should look
