Children’s live flu nasal spray
Morning, my Granddaughters are about to have their annual flu jab, which here in the UK is a live nasal spray. I know I need to keep away from them for a while, but cannot find anything on the NHS website to suggest how long for. Does anyone know or have had experience of this? Thanks

order of vaccinations
I had a relatively mild form of COVID in August which cleared up in a week with Paxlovid. My surgery is doing the flu vaccination on 8 Oct and I can have the 2nd shingles vaccination anytime after 21 September. Meanwhile the over 50s are being offered a COVID booster, but I suppose having had the infection

Upcoming vaccinations for flu and Covid
Hello everyone, This is my first post on the forum so hope it goes ok. My question is concerning the booster jab for Covid and, the usual, flu vaccination. This afternoon my local medical centre sent texts regarding the above, encouraging me to book dates for the vaccinations. I always have a flu

Covid autumn booster and flu vaccs
Having said I'd have my flu and covid booster separately I've just booked to have both at once at our surgery. Has anyone strong feelings either way? I've never had reactions to any of covid jabs ( Astra Zeneca Moderna or Pfizer) or to any flu jab.

Autumn booster and flu jab invite
Finally got my follow up with rheumy nurse next week on Tuesday so will ask this week with everything else I need to ask. But I’ve just had a text from my gp with a link to book my flu jab and autumn covid booster. I’ve not been told I am immunosuppressed, or that I’m more at risk and I’m only on

flu jab and Levothyroxine timings
Hello everyone, the invitations to have the ‘flu jab have started to be sent out, I’m assuming it’s best to leave minimum 4 hours following Levothyroxine morning dose? This will be my first experience of the jab since I started Levo.

Covid Booster
I had a message from my GP Surgery yesterday with an appointment for my booster. I think there has been some discussion about having a flu jab at the same time. This invitation was only for my booster. The surgery normally starts flu jabs in October.

chicken pox and pmr
My granddaughter has just been diagnosed with chicken pox. It’s her first birthday tomorrow and the following day, a party and bbq was planned. This may go ahead in a shortened form as she appears only mildly affected. My question is - am I at risk of catching chicken pox (severely) if I am in the same

Are nasties still partying in my lungs? And flu and booster jabs.
it’s over 5 weeks since finished course of I.v. antibiotics at home, following which my sputum was creamy colour. However I’ve been feeling off, in addition to severe balance issue I had from taking the colymycin. and am horrified to see that my sputum is green again. So I am of course wondering which

Covid plus flu jab at the same time?
my doctor's surgery are offering to give the covid vaccine and the flu vaccine at the same time, is this a good idea ? Can I ask for them to be done separately? Would appreciate peoples views.

Shingrix Vaccine
Since the new shingles vaccine, Shingrix, is not a live virus, have you gotten the vaccine? If so, did you have any side effects from it? My transplant center and Oncologist highly recommend getting it, but I haven't done so yet. Thanks for your input.

Shingles Vaccine
There has been a lot of advertising on Classic FM that older people with immune deficiency diseases should get the anti shingles vaccine. I asked the question a few years ago and it was stated by Prof Harrison that this was a live vaccine and was therefore dangerous to us with ET/PV especially if we

chicken pox
I would appreciate advice on chicken pox I had chicken pox as an adult when my children got it. I have also had a shingles vaccine. My grandson is just recovering and we’re waiting to see if his sister catches it. I’m on 5mg prednisone and we’re wondering if I should still be careful and stay clear
