The standard flu jab is quadravalent, it contains 4 flu strains. As older people have a reduced immune response, they get a trivalent vaccine with an adjuvant. I don't know why they can't add the adjuvant to the quadravalent version.I did find it interesting though that the chemist only had one over 65 jab left, seems they are doing a different one for them. Not sure how it is different
It seems I am out of date, this year all flu vaccines will be quadrivalent. The version for over 65's has the added adjuvant.The standard flu jab is quadravalent, it contains 4 flu strains.

I know that obviously! I just wondered if people ever say no they don’t want it or just have it done because drs have asked them to go for a jab!Without a court order it would be illegal to force medication or vaccinations on to anyone, so I guess that means we must welcome it.

This is interesting! Would lower than normal blood sugar give me dizziness over several days do you think? It's just that this was my reaction to astrazeneka jab and I didn't have a meter at that time?Had mine on Tuesday, no problems apart from lower than normal blood sugar. Had the same reaction to the Covid jab for a few hours, then very high blood sugar for a week or so.
when I was 63 there was a campaign in the newspapers for all over 60 to get the flu vaccination as we were particularly vulnerable. On talking to my GP he agreed with this and added that as a type 2 diabetics I was doubly vulnerable and he strongly recommended that I have it. I have done so every year apart from 2020 and not had any symptoms.Do you people have the flu jab because you want it or because they tell you to have it?
