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

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😎

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

Hydroxyurea ( Hydrea) and vaccine safety
Hello , I am 60 years old and jak 2 positive PV . I am on aspirin and Hydrea . My doc wants me to take vaccine for swine flu, hepatitis B and pneumococcus - has anyone taken vaccines while on Hydrea ? Is it safe - considering hydrea is essentially tuning down the immune system?

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 🙂

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

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
