I like how the word "may" has been removed from this thread and it's assumed this is an exact proposal.

I'm practising for my next career writing for the Fail.

The over 65 version flu vaccine with added bits of dead shark is impressively nasty in my experience.

I didn't know the over 65 vaccine contains Squalene. I had the tetravalent jab, so no sharks were harmed.

Sounds like you have experience.

Fortunately not! But I did realise I should have worded that differently

More fun getting them, yes. Living with them, maybe not so much.

do you know if there are any side effects of flu vaccine ?

Side effects are pretty rare... But you will likely have an immune response which is by design. So you may feel unwell.. that is not a side effect, that's your immune system doing it's job.

Maybe some STDs will counter it. More fun than Dengue anyway.

Flu vaccine - NHS

Flu vaccine side effects

Flu vaccines are very safe. Most side effects are mild and only last for a day or so, such as:

slightly raised temperature

muscle aches

sore arm where the needle went in – this is more likely to happen with the vaccine for people aged 65 and over

You can't catch flu from the vaccine. If you're going to have an allergic reaction, it'll happen within a minute or two of having the jab so always best to sit in the waiting area for 5 minutes if you think you may be susceptible.

Mine is for next week at Boots. I booked it at the beginning of September.

Boots should be giving them to others under 65 in mid-October however try Lloyds and Tesco pharmacies to see if they have any vaccine.

GP. local and Asda pharmacies are apparently only giving shots to over 65s.

GPs also giving jabs to 50-64 age group if in vulnerable groups (e.g. Asthma etc)

Never had a flu jab, ever, however I would probably have a manflu jab if there was ever one

[SueEllen]

where did you book it. Boots and NHS are not giving jab to anyone under 65 according to the media

With Boots, but I booked it a few weeks before that.
