[QUOTE="harrygarry95, post: 2300135, member: 527394"] Hey! Coming up to flu season now and I can't decide if I should get a flu vaccine? I'm 25 years old and I've only ever had flu vaccines when I was a child. Obviously with COVID around I'm trying to be extra safe, plus I've already had the flu once when I was 16 and I experienced swine flu in 2009 which was equally unpleasant. The main reason which puts me off are the side effects. I know the vaccine doesn't give you the flu - but I'm worried if I get a fever I'll panic and think I have COVID. I'm really battling with my anxiety over this one... I know my doctor will say I should have one. But I'm intrigued by those who are anti-vaxxers and their reasons. Thanks [/QUOTE]
