Thanks aymes..
Nathan will certainly be having his....I have heard talk that you may be able to contract swine flu twice??

xx🙂
yes thats true you can catch it more than once. Its because the strain is still mutating so as its changing all the time no one is able to build up any resistance to it 😱
I see that not all diabetics are first for the swine flu jab...I noticed that because I am over 65, I come further down the line I call that age descrimination

My nurse said to me the other week, read everything in the press and make my own decision about having the jab, hearing that it's mutating I wouldn't be racing to get in the queue??? What do you people think? Would you get it?
Yes very true Ross , it will probably mutated again before the jab is even ready 🙄🙄
exactly!! As you found out from popping in to tesco's it's not nice but there's a chance f feeling shit for a couple of weeks just from having the vaccin isn't there?
Then again if it get's offered my ma would go spare if I didn't have it (yes I did leave home a long time ago!)! And I can't lie to her damn annoying!!
Count me in! I'll be first in line given the chance!! I'd rather take the risk of feeling a bit off due to the vaccine than catching the actual flu and running the risk of dying from complications.What do you people think? Would you get it?

GBS is linked as a very rare side affect to all influenza (and some other) vaccinations so not just the swine flu one. It is generally thought of to be an extrememly rare reaction however so I don't think any link will alter my decision to have the jab, just as I would have the annual flu jab. I suppose it's a decision we all have to make, for me I feel that I feel that the liklihood of a bad side effect of the jab is lesser then the risk of contracting flu and having bad side effects of that, lesser of two evils I guess! But I totally understand that others will find they come to a different conclusion based on the risks.
