I got a flu shot last October and I've been since getting flu once about every two months, sometimes even less!

Prior to this, I only got it once every three years or so. Never even two consecutive years!

I've been having it again since yesterday, which makes the fifth or sixth time I'm getting it since last October.

    There is suspicion that the flu jab also contains the COVID vaccine which we are not told about,we all know that some individuals have had mysterious symptoms from the COVID vaccines.i usually have a annual flu jab but didn't last year & was ok,the previous year I had the jab & didn't have flu but felt ill for months after.

    I suspect it wasn't a regular flu jab.

    I've learned my lesson.

    Just want to clarify that there is no evidence that the flu vaccine contains the COVID vaccine but I'm sorry to hear you've been so poorly @Passerby and I hope you feel better soon

    So what makes you believe this? I think you meant to post that pearl of wisdom on X.

    It may be a simple case of what you had was not the flu. What many people think is the flu is just another bug. Or it could be they didn't match the vaccine to the strains they were expecting this year. I doubt it's anything untoward. 😊

    I wouldn't suggest that the flu jab contained Covid vaccine, as the pharmacist had both of them and that I had declined the Covid vaccine. However, I've had Covid vaccine and booster three times and have never felt any problem whatsoever.

    I don't mean just feeling some symptoms of flu. I really get ill for about a week.
