Well I can't afford to have time off work so I'll be having one.

I had one last year, and didn't notice any ill effects.

We are both having ours on Saturday and trust they will keep us safe for another year.

Since I had the flu, I've had one every year. I do not want to repeat that experience!

We had a letter from our surgery saying date and time to be there. I need to cancel it to be honest.

When I took Mic for his jab there was a notice up that said "People who care can also have the jab" When I asked about it I was told I was not entitled because I was not in receipt of carers allowance. The reason I don't get it is because I haven't applied for Carers allowance.

Had mine. Slightly sore arm for 24 hours but well worth it. If I do not contract flu I cannot pass it on. Win win situation.
