Flu jab

[tiggertastic]

I had it a few weeks back, I had a sore arm for a day or so, probably less so than in previous years.

Thanks for all the comments. It’s moved on nicely into a chest infection and sinusitis - sorry if that’s too much info. Of the 30 people who had the jab that day, 5 have had similar symptoms and been off sick. Our HR dept is taking an interest.

I went for the flu jab and they decided to give me the pneumonia jab at the same time. It took me by surprise and was done before I knew it. Three days later my arm was red almost down to my elbow and the doctor put me on antibiotics which has calmed everything down. My chest is still tight but I have a random appointment later so will get it checked. It won’t stop me getting flu jab again but I won’t have two jabs at once again.

Be careful you may be asked to provide scientific proof and be called a scare monger

I work for the NHS and used to get the flu jab and every year without fail I was unwell afterwards. I haven't had the jab the past few years and been fine. I know they say it can't cause symptoms but it was too much of a coincidence for my liking

You asked me to point out where you were scare mongering. I diss exactly that but you have chosen to ignore that fact. Sometimes when in a hole it’s better to stop digging
