Had your yearly flu jab yet?
Morning all, I was just thinking, as we are supposed to be on the vulnerable bunch list have any of you had/been offered a flu jab this year? I am usually one of the first called by our docs and not heard a peep. Do you think we should have one?

Flu vaccine
Hello everyone. Not strictly lung problem but I am feeling really unwell in and off since flu jab. It is like I am sickening for a cold or flu but it doesn’t come to anything apart from wanting to lie down and sleep. Any thoughts please.

Flu jab
🙂Today I went for my annual flu jab, I’m not great with needles but since my granddaughter (aged 1) had 4 jabs on Wednesday, I put on a brave front. Imagine my surprise when I ended up having 3 jabs..Flu-Shingles-Pneumonia. Better safe than sorry 🙂

Flu jab - yes/no this year
I know it is recommended to have the flu vaccination this year particularly because of covid, but i wonder if really necessary as we are in a lockdown area, not going out and mixing and when out shopping wearing a mask. How would we catch if we are not mixing? I have never had the vaccination as only

Flu vaccine side effects
I usually feel "not too good" for a few days after my annual flu jab. I think that, if you do get some reaction to the vaccine, it is a good indication that the vaccine will give you good immunity. I had my jab (Influensa Vaccination) yesterday. As I am on Apixaban anti-coagulant, I cannot take anti-inflammataries

Flu vaccination availability for us
We all know that our endo has an effect on our immune system, that annoyingly this isn't recognised and classed the same as say Diabetes / Heart Problems / Asthma in regards to Flu vaccinations. I always have colds around this time of the year and have always know it's due to my endo - I know some may

Flu vaccine
Apologies if this is a regularly covered topic, this is the first year I have been offered the flu vaccine following HA in March. I am on the usual cocktail, aspirin, losartan, ticagrelor, atorvastatin, omeprazole and bisoprolol. I had the flu vaccine last Tue (9 days ago) and since Saturday have

Lymph nodes under ear
Today I woke up with the lymph nodes under my ear enlarged. They have been enlarged for a while but today they are a bit bigger and very tender. I got my flu shot and pneumonia shot on Monday, do you think that has anything to do with it? I am not on any treatments. Still w&w. Thank you! Mary

Flu vaccine and shielding household members
Just a heads up to alert folk that at least in England and Scotland household other members of shielding households are supposed to be able to get the flu vaccine from the NHS now. My husband (healthy, aged 49) had his today here in Scotland. I (vasculitis patient) got done two weeks ago, as did my 85

Flu shot
I had my flu shot yesterday and today I feel really ill. Has anyone else found this? I am 3 months into b12 injections .. on and off but currently injecting 100mcg cyano every other day. A lot of my symptoms were so much better until today and I feel like I’ve gone backwards 😕

Reaction to the flu jab.
I wondered if anyone has had a reaction to the flu jab. I must have had about 16/17 in the past of which at least three or four must have been when I was on steroids with my first bout of PMR. Before that I have had them at work when I was nursing. Never a reaction and hardly a sore arm. This time

Flu jab if you are in remission?
I have looked over the various flu jab posts and see that the advice is to definitely get it! Is your advice any different for someone who is in remission? I have been off prednisone (for PMR) about 18 months. I have never had a flu jab because I luckily do not get the flu. I am very concerned that

Flu jab and blood thinners
My son (35) has just had his flu jab and was asked if he was taking blood thinners - not something I've ever been asked before. A quick search found that problems have occurred previously with patients taking warfarin, but I cannot find any reference to other blood thinners (I'm on clopidogrel) or if

Total thyroidectomy and the flu jab
Hi, I am 60 years old, I had a total thyroidectomy 2 years ago because of a substernal goitre and take Levothyroxine. When I contacted my GP practice to arrange my very first flu jab, the receptionist told me that my profile hadn’t flagged up on their system and therefore I wouldn’t be getting an invite
