Flu jab

Until this year I never have taken the flu jab while my wife always takes hers. We've not seen a difference, possibly because I've been the guilty carrier.

Like you, neither of us has suffered the usual bouts of flu for 12 months. It's taken 7 decades to learn to wash our hands, (teacher).

Despite all that, this year I've taken the flu jab and two others for which I apparently qualify. Certainly, no adverse effects.

All our defences are up as far as we know. Except, I'm still trying to break the lifetime habit of opening gates while wiping snot off my nose.

Don't think twice about it. In memory of Pete Bland, take any defences offered.

Thanks to everyone who has posted. Appreciated. So, I've decided to give the GP surgery a ring on Monday and book an appointment. It wasn't out of some misplaced stubborn machismo that caused me to hesitate but a genuine desire not to waste a resource. I do understand however that its preventative. I'm not some anti-vaxxer, but don't usually (fortunately) need to take any meds. for anything.
