flu jab and poss covid booster
I've just been offered one and expect they'll offer a booster covid when available. mine was pfizer. Never had flu in my life save on one occasion and rarely get colds. Always relied on being fit and having a good immune system. Therefore never had a flu jab. I'm 70. Any advice please.

Flu and Covid vaccine
Hello Has anyone wisdom to share about these vaccines? I assume we will all be offered the flu vaccine. Is there an optimal time during a chemo cycle for the vaccine? Same question for Covid vaccination. Plus I had my vaccines at month 4 and month 6 after previous chemo…so I think looking at gov advice

Booster Vaccine
For those of you who maybe wondering about the booster vaccine, my hubby has been called up for his next Tuesday. He was to get the flu vaccine too, but that has been held up! Importantly, he does not have an MPN, but he is on immunosuppressive medications. So hopefully, we who have MPNs will be hearing

GP surgeries in England cancel flu jabs amid shortage of vaccine
This is intended as a general warning - not a discussion. For that reason, I shall close the post to replying. The article says they do not know if this is, or will, affect Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. [i]

Pneumonia vaccine?
I am booked in for my flu jab and GP has now texted to offer pneumonia jab as I'm 66. Just wondering if anyone has any comments about it,? I seem to remember hearing it can make you quite ill?

Update on Shingles Vaccination in UK
An earlier post made me check NHS Scotland about the shingles vaccination as my husband (without an MPN) is nearly 71 and hadn't been offered it - apparently it used to be done routinely with the flu jab when you reached 70, but last year our flu jabs weren't done by our surgery. It appears the website

Flu vaccine
I’ve had a request from my GP surgery to have the flu vaccine as I’m apparently now in the ‘Under 65 at risk group ‘, not sure whether it’s because of having a pacemaker or down to the heart infection I had last December , I’m not against vaccines like this but just having a cold affects me more since

Covid booster jabs.
I have a patient access community group at my GPs and although I'm a member, due to work commitments, was never able to attend them. Now I have flexible working days, I asked to be included to attend and the dates of next meeting. I noticed that the chair also sent me some information regarding a covid

Flu Jab
I'm sure flu jab time is getting earlier each year. GP text today to make appointment for week after next. Will a Covid Booster be next up????

Does the flu jab cause polymyalgea
My husband has Polymyalgea and is now on steroids. He has suffered quite severely but the steroids are definately helping. He is insistent that the problem was caused by having the flu jab. Has anyone had this theory suggested before ?

To boost or not to boost
Finally got a reply from my haematologist saying yes to a booster jab, yes at the same time as flu jab and that any make of vaccine is acceptable as a booster. Freddie

How do you know if you are suffering from long Covid or from worsening asthma?
I have suffered from asthma and breathing difficulties for a number of years however in the past two years it has got progressively worse. A few years back I was wakening up 'dead' not being able to breath and literally that bad that my wife took a video of one of my episodes and when I showed it to

Wait & Watch - What does it entail?
I’m relatively new to the CLL community. My diagnosis was incidental while following up with blood tests post COVID infection. I’m currently on W&W with a Rai score of 0. This community has been a great support and I’ve learnt a lot here. It has given me hope & reassurance. I’m still confused about

Consultation with Haematologist Today
Just had my yearly telephone consultation with my haematologist. My bloods are stable over the past year. Yippee! He's made an appointment for August 2022. He did make some startling claims however: 1. You can get a live shingles vaccine if you are not having treatment. 2. Your reaction to covid vaccination

Covid Vaccine with Vanishing Twin?
I am due to have my first Covid vaccine today and am having a last minute panic due to the fact that I have a demised twin. I lost Twin B at 8 weeks and, at our 16 week scan, it was still there. I am 18 weeks now and have been told that the demised twin will be reabsorbed by both my body and our remaining

Any issues with Covid vaccination and AF
I’m having a phizer Covid vaccine on Monday (I know it’s late but Japan is way behind) and wondered if any fibbers had issue with it. The regular flu vaccine sometimes makes me skip a few beats but was wondering if the vaccine for covid has triggered anyone?

Shingles vaccine
People in the uk, don't shoot me. Instead, lobby the nhs to cover the Shingrix vaccine which is over 90% effective, and much more effective in older people than Zostavax. Also because it is not a live vaccine it is more appropriate for people on immune suppressing medication. If in the US you can
