    Has everyone had their flu jab or are they booked in for one? I was booked in for one on the 1oth of November at work. I then went down with a cold so was off sick, got in this morning and found due to circumstances beyond the nurses control they were cancelled here. I am now having one done on the 28th. Should have had one at the doctors but turned him down because I'd already booked at work.:updown::fierce:

    In about 10 minutes (now 11.48.am) I am off to get my flu jab done. If my arm still works after lunch I'll even do some work, especially as it's pay day...:confused::hungry:

    My Bear and I had ours back in October. Me because I'm diabetic and a stroke survivor, and Bear because she's my carer
    My docs do a slot over a few days then.

    Amazes me how many diabetics I know refuse to have it. As much as I explain you can't catch Flu from the injection,
    and you can explain how immunisation works, they can get very bad tempered about it. Pride that they don't know
    how it works, and embarrassment that someone explains to them I guess. My doc said they have over a hundred people
    that have refused it and get stroppy about it.

    Me ? I'd be rather be alive and grumpy than be pig headed and dead. :shocked: :bigsmile:

    I'm alergic to being ill. I'm a terrible patient and hate people looking after me. The only way to avoid being wrapped in cotton wool by over protective hubby is to saty well. Yeah I lnow he cares but sometimes you can get too much of a food thing.

    I was told once you'd had an immunisation you can't get what the injection was for. I had big sod immunised against all the childhood stuff. A month after he'd had the MMR he got rubella. It was not as bad as if he hadn't had the jab, but he still got it.

    We are lucky in the UK as we get free medical treatment, and with certain medical conditions free medication as well. Although my friend and her family in America have good medical insurance it is all horrendously expensive because people have to pay and those from the poorest families stand vey little chance of getting decent medical treatment...
