Thanks Chellie. Is that early? I don't tend to bother but will let HID know.

I don't think so. Was able to book for mid September.

Got my Pneunococcal vaccine booked for Monday. The joys of being over 65!

I am seriously considering whether or to bother last year I was left with a racking cough (not covid or cancer) for over 6 weeks after my jab.

Surely not the result of the flu vaccine?

Unless you got a nasal vaccine, they are not live so should not give you flu symptoms.

Covid at the same time?

Covid at the same time?

Don't know. I'm not having any more covid jabs.

 

[KenL]

Don't know. I'm not having any more covid jabs.

Why have the flu but not covid?

 

[chellie]

Why have the flu but not covid?

I've had the flu jab for years but like a lot of people I know have just decided no more covid jabs for the foreseeable.

I don’t want to be intrusive or cause any controversy but is there a logic behind you and others having jabs against one potentially serious viral infection and not against another?

Interesting. I've not heard a single person say they wouldn't get another covid jab.
I certainly will, but I work in a school with 1200 snotty kids so am in the firing line.

It feels like you’re avoiding saying why you won’t have it. Do you believe some of the conspiracy theories?

 

[chellie]

I do not believe any of the conspiracy theories but have had 3 covid jabs also had covid and have decided I am not having any more covid jabs. Will that do?

I just wonder why you’ve made that decision when you’re willing to have the flu jab.

 

[KenL]

I just wonder why you’ve made that decision when you’re willing to have the flu jab.

Me too.

Does it really matter? It appears that you’re keen to get into some sort of anti-vax/conspiracy theory type argument given then questioning however can’t it just be put down to personal preference?

Personal preference is always based on some sort of opinion.
