Flue /Covid jabs 2025- had yours yet?

[Matt@Nearfield]

I've got mine at 0915 this morning.

I'm only 50 but on the endangered list due to 35years of far too much enjoying myself... who knew

Any ladies and gentleman had yours yet?

Flu jab soon, I'm 51, sort of OK but back and knee ache more so thesedays!

Had both of mine yesterday. A bit disappointing as last year the nurse doing the stabbing gave me a “Big Boy” sticker for not crying.

I get star stickers most days, unfortunately they are on the labourers' 'Boss is an arse' chart

Wife and I had our flu jabs last Friday, we're not getting a Covid, too young at 66.

 

[Sharpsman]

I don't get the COVID jab but got the flu jab yesterday,wether it was in my head I got a sore throat and runny nose last night but fine this morning

Flu jab booked for Wednesday but I’ve been feeling like crap for the past two weeks with flu like symptoms so I might just cancel for now.

If I don't get a "Brave Boy" badge, I am not having it done.

Quite right. Solidarity. Stickers for all!

Kinda ironic , 1st october they start here doing the flu and covid jabs,, i got flu on the last day of september and its knocked me for six.

 

[Aston_Shooter]

Nope, went for flu jab but they mucked about and I wasn't that arsed anyway so left and not too interested in going back, I'm sure I'll be fine.

The jab for 'the one that shall not be named' didn't seem to help me during my previous bouts, so I'm not arsed about that one either, despite being on the 'danger' list

My missus is a nurse, so I'm sure I will catch everything regardless lol

 

[OldStock]

I'm sure I'll be fine

You may have reduced your risk.
Past performance is no guarantee of future outcomes, obviously.

I'm 59 and never had either and never will.

I know some years the companies say their flu jabs are only 30% effective but this recent large study on 58,000 employees showed it to be much worse than that.

I had my flu jab last wednesday, have had one every year since i turned 40 which was when i last had flu, never felt so ill in my life and ended up in hospital..

I know it does not stop you from getting it at least it knocks the potential severity down a bit..
