The surgery has given up on asking us to have covid vaccines. I'd already asked at the surgery about 'flu vaccine, had them annually for o. 30 yrs.. I've now received a letter from the surgery reminding me! I'll mention it again next week.
I'm surprised (or not!) at the varying approaches by the different surgeries. Mr M had a phone call from our surgery back in August to book his for end of Oct.
While other surgeries haven't even sent a text. I always assumed it was financially beneficial to them to get as many eligible people vaccinated as possible.
poorclare, if you are referring to RSV vaccine, had it yesterday, no ill effects to date.

237J - the 'flu jab is the only one I bother with. I've had genuine 'flu thrice and it's not funny. The other year they were guessing at the strain which would be prevalent (more so than usual after covid) and I contracted 'flu.........took me 6 weeks to get over it and then some until I felt OK. Another chap in the village caught it around Christmas - and died.
It's not a guarantee, but Iwould seriously consider the 'flu one.
I remember when I had flu. I could hardly lift my head off the pillow. It was far worse than when I had covid. It came on after I swam 100 lengths of a hotel swimming pool and the pains that I had with flu were in the muscles that I had used whilst swimming. A medically trained friend told me that flu sets into the weakest points (in her mother's case it was the liver because she was an alcoholic and became jaundiced) which is why my muscles hurt. I was young and managed to shake it off fairly quickly.
Our flu jabs are penciled in for next Sat or the following Sat. However I am becoming less and less likely to trust the whole vaccination "industry" after recent stats have started to emerge. Did you know that a recent study, which included healthy subjects, found a 65% increased risk of non-flu acute respiratory illness within 14 days of receiving the flu vaccine?
