Flu Vaccination Reminder This Winter💉😷

Most people go throughout their life never getting flu. What most people call flu, is actually a cold, albeit a bad cold in many cases, but simply a cold.
With flu you will have a very high temperature and won't even be able to use a phone let alone go about your day. You'll be laid up in bed for many days. It's not until you have flu, that you realise how bad it really is and that it's not what most people believe is flu.
The vaccine isn't isn't live, so you can't catch flu from it.
I hope that moving forward your health will improve. X

I’m booked in at a local chemist next week to have both Covid and Flu jabs, I think there dusting off the tranquilliser gun in readiness

I started getting mine in the pandemic because I live with an immunocompromised relative and I wanted to keep them safe. Prior to that I never even thought of it because I have so little experience actually getting flu :/ Colds, yes. But not flu.

I work with the public and so I don't want to take any risks that I don't need to take :)

I'm not eligible for covid vaccines anymore, fortunately my relatives are and have had both already this year. I used to be eligible for the covid one until they removed 'living with a vulnerable person'.


I had my flu jab back in October, it's more than two weeks now so fingers crossed it works :)

I’ve been getting mine regularly for a few years and always kept Covid at bay. That was until 2022 when I didn’t have my Covid Booster and the following year my now ex wife gave me Covid. This then led to long covid and which in all honesty I’m still paying the price for today. Since 2023 I’ve made sure to have both flu and Covid prevention shots, only this year my mental health has meant me keep changing my appointment. Just have to keep myself protected at all costs with me being vulnerable.

Mine is because of the multiple health conditions that I have, especially the breathing issues I have. I also got questioned as to how I manage my cerebral palsy, in all honesty I’ve lived with it for 42 years and have adjusted my life over the years to compensate.

It can vary. I initially was offered it because I'd had flu the winter before. Then I was offered it because I'd had the Hepatitis C vaccine (For work). Now I am offered it because I have Diabetes and other health issues.
