    Question Flu Vaccine: Did you get yours?

    A lot of comparisons going on between the usual flu and the CNV. Made me wonder gow many on here actually got a jab this season?

    I know I did.

    I did and have for many years. If you are over 50 the Government subsidises the cost, so why not? Previously my company paid. My husband got flu this year so badly I was quite scared for him .... He is a very fit and active person usually so don't think you can't be affected by flu. It's a truly nasty disease. Getting a jab each year builds up immunity over time to a variety of strains so it's much better once you get older. And it means you need one EVERY year not just once! I just got the sniffles even though I was looking after my husband and thus in very close contact (and no we don't wear masks at home). Get your shot!

    Could you please add option
    "I can't due to...(allergies, etc.)" In the third position?

    This option highlights the importance of herd immunity for those with allergies, immune-compromised and undergoing other treatments/meds, sorry for leaving it off.
