I get very very cross when people just dismiss the flu jab. Our NHS would not pay to have this available to everyone over 60 if it was not really important. Hubby went this morning for his and the surgery was packed with....SENSIBLE PEOPLE.....who have a bit of thought for themselves and the more vulnerable in society.
Unless you live in a field, do all your shopping online, and mix with no other people during flu season then get the jab that the medical community suggest you have.
DONT, go around spreading your flu to people like my hubby who has Type 1 diabetes, old people and children, and those who have health issues. There is enough of a strain on the NHS as it is.
It's a complete and utter no brainier to me. Why on earth take the risk. Ok if you are young and healthy but for the over 60s it's a must in my book.
If I had smilies I would be doing the exploding one as I get so damned mad about this.
