I can't compete with xyour medical history, but you are certainly in the group that needs the vaccine.

My Mother in Law had been on Warfarin for years, then a different Doctor expressed surprise and concern.

Apparently no one should be on Warfarin for more than six months.

He changed her to a different medication.
I had a Aortic valve replaced in 1973 and have been taking Warfarin since then (the ball in a cage type) and had a Pacemaker fitted in 2004 and I also have Prostate Cancer, so stop worrying, things could get worse. I take each day with thanks to the hosptal surgeons and nurses that are looking after me. I will be 75 on Sunday the 8th Nov and determined to see 80.
Could BE worse not Get, sorry.
i take warfarin because of A/F, and will have to continue for the rest of my life,
but I will not have the swine flu jab,
but not for the reasons mentioned, It doesn't look safe to me.
But that is only MY opinion.
My sister, wife and daughter have all had swine flu, and have all ended up with really bad coughs and chest infections.

My sister said she could fully understand the danger to asthmatics, as she struggled with her chest.

Get the swine flu jab!
