It's technically still summer, but all adults and children older than six months should get a flu vaccine by the end of October 2018. Times Healthland, 09/04/2018.

dimarzio Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Had my jab 3 weeks ago Jo. I booked in using the over 65 process and they said that because I was under 65, they had to give me a different one. I have been having flu jabs since 2010 or 2011 and have never got the flu. However, it was around 2010/11 I first started noticing what turned out to be circulation problems and Scleroderma (diagnosed 2015). It makes you wonder doesn't it?

Joelf Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hi Dimarzio, I was due to have the flu jab this week, but unfortunately I had a slight chest infection, so I've put it off for a week or so. I'm due the over 65 (three strains); when I receive it I'm going to point out that I shouldn't be having the one that can boost my immune system. With scleroderma, the last thing we need is something to "boost" our already over active immune system! Kind regards, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
