Flu Vaccination
Has the coronavirus pandemic made you more likely to get the flu vaccine later this year? It might be July but we’re already beginning to think about this year’s flu vaccination programme. You may be wondering if the flu vaccine will still be important for people with asthma this year and the answer

How on Earth will they manage Flu injections in the UK?
Discussed this with a few people recently. The flu jab programme in surgeries has been a cause of much irritation over the last few years. Some practices have sessions where you just turn up, others have allocated times for people depending on your surname. My surgery has tried both with varying degrees

Pneumococcal vaccine in short supply.
The GP has said she needs to have the
Pneumococcal
vaccine
, of course, especially with working in a nursing home. Sharon then asks the receptionist to make an appointment to see the nurse for it.

Use of PNEUMOCOCCAL vaccine for transplantees in the Covid-19 era
Should people with suppressed immune systems be advised to have this vaccine? I read that some people dying of Covid actually die of pneumonia. Would it potentially save some people. The cost to the NHS is less than £9 or £17 for a pre-filled syringe.

Is there any updated advice regarding Covid-19 for Lymphoedema patients?
Hi I just wondered if there was any updated medical advice for Lymphoedema patients? Now restrictions are easing up I’m finding that I am unsure what advice I should be following. Initially it was easy as anyone who received the flu jab was vulnerable, anyone who got a letter was extremely vulnerable

Going for a Walk
Hi all, Basically querying about going for walks. Although I received the shielding letter, my consultant confirmed it was only because I get the flu jab and everyone in Wales who has will get the letter regardless. I fall into the 2nd category on BSR, as only on methotrexate injections 12.5mg (I haven't

‘Flu vaccine
I rang my GP to ask if I should get the ‘flu jab - and get a script for it as I do every year - this year because of my recently diagnosed PMF I qualify for free vaccine! Part of me still rebels being labelled as having a ‘chronic illness’ or having ‘reduced immunity’ - part of me says ‘Thanks very much

The vaccine we’re testing in Australia is based on a flu shot. Here’s how it could work against coronavirus.
A new trial has begun in Victoria this week to evaluate a potential vaccine against COVID-19. The vaccine is called NVX-CoV2373 and is from a US biotech company, Novavax. The trial will be carried out across Melbourne and Brisbane, and is the first human trial of a vaccine specifically for COVID-19

I have an irregular heartbeat my heart misses the 7th beat. Should I be concerned in regard to covid-19. I also have high BP controlled.
The doctors said they were not concerned at the time because my irregular heartbeat is regularly irregular. Each year I have to have the flu jab I presumed it was to do with my blood pressure I'm told this is not the case they don't give you the flu jab for blood pressure.so I wonder if I had been given

Coronavirus Uk
Hi Can I ask all UK readers. I assumed as I have PBC I would receive a letter from my local Health Centre about the 12 week self isolation but as of yet I have not received any notification even though I recieve the flu vaccine yearly. Does PCB not fit this criteria? Thanks

Is everyone with CLL on the UK Government Vulnerable/Shielding List ?
I am 2 years into W&W and still have no symptoms. I was advised in January that it would probably be "many years" before treatment was necessary. The consultant only indicated that I should have my annual flu jab plus one for pneumonia but apart from that just advised me to carry on as normal and to

Asthma cough/mucus worse past three years
A lot of us were given the
pneumococcal
vaccine
about then, could this have triggered something? Or the ever changing flu injections?

New study looking at use of flu vaccines in melanoma patients on Keytruda released
This has been a question Wayne and I have posed for 5 years that has some initial data covering actual patients who had at least one dose of pembro over several flu seasons of patient tracking. Good article to share with your docs in advance of the 2020-2021 season: https://www.medpagetoday.com/reading-room
