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

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.

Flu Jab Text
Hubby was sent a text which recommends the flu jab. It has a long link for further reading which looks to me like a twitter link - and as his phone isn't a smart phone (he is BLIND!), what exactly is he supposed to do?

TMEP & Flu Vaccination
Hi there, I have just been diagnosed with TMEP and am looking to get a flu vaccination this year. I don’t qualify for vaccination under the NHS. Last year I had it done at Tesco Pharmacy and had a large allergic reaction. I wondered if anyone else with a mast cell condition had a similar reaction

Slowing down a 'helper' cell may someday make vaccines more effective for seniors.
Many people have understood that our immune systems get weaker as we age, which in part explains why older people often get less protection than younger ones from annual influenza vaccines. Now a team of scientists led by experts at Cincinnati Children's have taken a deeper look at how the immune system

Time gap between Pneumonia & Influenza vaccines and Denosumab Injection. Is Denosumab & Zoledronic acid do harm to dental implantation.
Can my mother take Pneumonia vaccine (Pneumovax 23) and Influenza vaccine (Influgen 0.5 ml) seven days before taking Denosumab (Olimab - product of India) injection. She is taking this injection twice in a year i.e on 1st March and 1st September every year. My second question is should my mother go

Flu jabs
I'm trying to find out about the interactions between those who are immuno-suppressed and recipients of of live flu jabs. Is there a time limit on contact? I'm planning to get one - though I haven't in previous years - and my grandson, going into Year 7 will presumably get one at school. I've seen

Flu Vaccine
Hi all, I’ve seen the (UK) government have expanded their flu vaccine programme for this coming winter. I was wondering if having an MPN would put me in an eligible household. Can I ask if other group members receive/intend to receive the vaccination? Thanks in advance 🙂
