Flu Jab!

I hope you have all been for your Jab! I went this week after being bombarded by advertising on the Radio and television. I think this years campaign narrated by Stephen Fry has been very effective - well it worked for me.

I had mine on the 10th of October

I booked one at work but couldn't have it done because I got the cold that's doing the rounds here. My doc wont do it unless I take two or three weeks from work but is not so keen to do a certificate for a cold!

I don't have a flu jab now. It made me so ill the last time

Glad you got your jab Dave, I wouldn't have one given (never had one in my 34 years of being diabetic) my diabetic friends have been very ill over years after having it, one getting a nasty bout of flu about a month following the jab as it doesn't actually stop you getting it, they can nag all they want - won't have a pneumonia jab either.

Personal choice - I'm sure lots of people swear by them

I am obviously influenced by all of the advertising. Plus, it is free!!!!!!!! I was always a boy with an eye for a bargain!!

I have my flu jab every year and I had the pneumonia one a couple of years ago - with T1 Brittle Asthma, I'm too scared not to.

I'm having mine on the 28th of November, see the other thread about flu jabs. I quite like the price FREE, so make sure I take up on things like flu jabs, eye checks and get a prescription when I have a cough...

Sorry, I meant to reply to this thread but must of clicked the wrong button. Sort of thing I do all the time.
