Hi all,

Just wondered, if you were pregnant and offered the flu vaccine would you have it?

Hiya

I honestly don't know what to do about this one.  I'm not pregnant but will be classed as a frontline health worker and so will be offered it also.

I think they were very quick at coming up with this vaccine and would like to know how many it was tested on and what the success rate for it is.  I'm worried about getting it and I'm also worried about not getting it.  I would like more information to be honest.

Message: I have heard after a normal flu jab that you can sometimes get flu and be ill for up to a couple of weeks after. Had your DS had any reaction to it?

HIya

I had it on Fri and other than a sore arm later that night it hasn't affected me at all.  I was abit iffy about it to be honest but talked to my pharmacist and the person who was jabbing me and decided to go ahead and get it.
