Flu Jabs

I was told by my GP that the pneumonia vaccine is every 10 years, it has flagged up on the system that mine is due, I will get it and suffer any consequences

I've never become seriously ill from my flu jabs though I certainly have some signs that my immune system is attacking it when I do have it (aching arm for example which is a good sign that the jab is encouraging your immune system to get stronger).

I bet a good chunk of the "becoming ill after a flu jab" is being caused by your immune system being distracted from something alive that you weren't aware of before the jab considering it's just a dead sample being injected...

Good ol' funny bodies eh!

Had my flu jab on Tuesday and now have the usual tender, red area on my arm but other than that OK

Got my flu jab this week (been getting it faithfully every year since it came out), but this is the first time I haven't had a sore arm .......... any ideas???

Got mine yesterday, together with the pneumonia jab......it's the pneumonia arm that's aching for me however....

Had mine Fri 26th at midday, within half an hour I was wobbly, as I was out, it was an hour after before I could test. BG was fine and all have been since. So some sort of reaction. 3 hours after jab, felt terribly sleepy. Had tender top of arm ever since, this Sunday morning the top of my arm was itching and tingling, as if it was healing. Oh well as long as I don't get flu!

had mine 2 weeks ago, as i have for many years, never had a reaction and BG's never seem affected. had my pnuemonia jab 4 years ago and was told it should be repeated every 10 years, but not checked this out.
