Pneumococcal vaccination
Following on recent discussions about the flu jab, I have been ‘chosen’ to have one of these which are ‘in national short supply’. This is the Prevenar 13 vaccination against bacterium streptococcus pneumonia. A once only jab apparently. Although I don’t wont have the flu jab, this might be of use me

Is this doctor worth keeping...?
I saw my GP yesterday for the annual flu shot, and also had my blood pressure checked. My BP is highish (190/98) and she says she suspect it's because I'm overmedicated. She wants me back on T4 and to be retested in eight weeks. If we cannot get my BP down naturally, she'll want me on drugs. She also

Children’s nasal flu vaccine precautions
Hello all, My dear grandchildren are having their annual nasal flu vaccine soon and I remember reading that those of us who are on pred and immuno suppressed should avoid contact for a while, as it is a live vaccine which can be ‘shed’ due to sneezing for instance. Have been searching for info on how

Anti vaccination irritation!
It's flu jab season and my social media is just covered in utter nonsense from anti vax people, it honestly baffles me. I see so much rubbish about vaccinations being dangerous, quoting all sorts of American info that is just not applicable to us here in the UK, 'sources' of 'research' just totally unreliable

BCG and Gemcitabine Treatments
What would you DO and what is the right thing to DO with my Bladder Cancer, wait until the BCG treatment becomes available and that’s due to shortage or just proceed with the Gemcitabine Chemotherapy treatment? The Oncologist who’s looking after Bladder Cancer is contacting my previous Oncologist who

Flu jab
After posting on here that I’ve never had a flu jab or want one...my oncologist told me to do it...apparently there’s a nasty Australian flu probably coming our way So I might take her advice though I don’t really think they help as the flu mutates before the vaccine can be made to combat it Do you ladies

Shingles
I have been diagnosed with shingles. I noticed a rash on Thursday, however because it wasn’t hurting at all I didn’t think much of it which was very silly of me! I went to the doctor on yesterday as it was spreading and i was told it was shingles. I’m surprised that after now 6 days the rash is there

Flu vaccine and AF
I’ve never had a flu vaccine before (I’m 39) as I’ve never been considered as particularly at risk. This year (year of the paroxysmal af diagnosis) I have been advised by my dr to have one. I currently have a bad cold and maybe because of it (or could it be that my dr has switched me from bisoprolol

Flu jab reaction
Had a horrid reaction to the flu jab last night. Slightly painful arm, shivery, nausea and stomach pains, muscle aches and generally feeling very unwell. I was surprised as I was ok last year. Improving this morning though and I guess it's better than getting the flu. Has it happened to anyone else?

Flu jab?
Hi everyone, I'm due to start enbrel at the end of November, currently on sulpha, and was just wondering because of this should I be getting a flu jab? Doc had told me last year I didn't really need it while on sulpha as there was no major impact on immunity with it but I'm wondering will that change

FLU SHOT QUESTION
Hi everybody. SO appreciate this site and everybody's input. I'm learning a lot. SO...I went to get a flu shot yesterday...I'm 2 years diagnosed in watch and wait and feel fine. The pharmacist was talking about the extra strong flu shot for seniors. I didn't know there were two different vaccines
