A bit scaremongy that (very DM). What they don't say is that those with a compromised immune system, like my husbands friend, are more at risk of a GBS reaction. It's a roll of the dice really.

My choice is not to have it. That could change next year, never say never, simply no at this present time x DD

I agree they love to scaremonger. But it is true that this years dose is three times stronger as other people I know who had it were told the same thing.

I had mine a few weeks back.
I have an auto immune disease of the liver.
Apart from a sore arm for a couple days , im ok.

Although last week, I did feel like I'd caught a virus or something, it felt like
I'd caught a cold, but wouldn't come out properly.
Don't know if that had anything to do with it or not, but the leaflet said that we start to
make our own antibodies 2/3 weeks after, and it was about that time.
I feel ok now though, lasted for about a week.

I'd like to have it but due to a mild egg allergy I can't. It's my first invitation too for a free one. Don't like to turn down a gift 🤣

I've never had it and won't be this year as well even though it's offered at my place of work.

There was an article in this weekends paper about it.  It says it only helps 1 in 10 people.

I've had a flu jab every year for about 30 years and been fine, not even had a sore arm with most of them. I was told though, not to have ( but to wait awhile) if I had a high temperature or felt unwell at the time.

I would certainly take it but our region has run out of it, and no idea when it will be getting any more stock ( over 65 one)  Apparently the Department of Health have totally underestimated the amount required.

Same here with low stocks of the over 65 one. My partner is 60 and they've got enough of his version.

My husband had it for the first time last year and I don't know if it's a coincidence, but he became severely depressed, overnight and I was seriously worried about him. He also had a migraine which he had never experienced before and achy shoulders. The depression lifed after a couple of days and the aches lasted about a week. He says never again. It's rather put me off, but my 85 year old mother has it every year with no problems. It's a hard call.
