ITP And The FLU Vaccine

[Anthonyh7]

I make no apology for re-posting a link to an article that I wrote about a year ago on ITP and the Flu Vaccine as it is such an important consideration for us folk living with ITP.

I also attach a link to an article by Professor Adrian Newland CBE on the flu vaccine and ITP which I am sure readers will find useful and helpful.

GENERAL DISCLAIMER

I thought it useful to reiterate that any answers that I give or articles I issue are based on the story of my own, personal experience with the auto immune illness ITP (Immune Thrombocytopenia ). It should not be assumed that any of my experiences, symptoms, treatments or any of the responses to them or any of the side effects I have encountered, will apply to other ITP sufferers.

In no circumstances should anything I mention be taken as medical advice, and as ever, each case of ITP should be discussed with the individual's doctor, specialist or healthcare professional .

Always seek the advice of a healthcare professional if you have any concerns about your ITP or general health whatsoever. The worst thing to do is ignore any symptoms you may have. If in doubt, get checked out !
