[QUOTE="Bildad, post: 2301348, member: 502798"] I have had it for the past 10 years or so. The only reaction is, a sore arm and that not every year. I am happy to have it so that I am not ill and do not put any unavoidable strain on the NHS which struggles in the winter flu season. I personally look at it as a civic duty to protect myself and those around me. My mother made sure that we had all jabs offered growing up so I have carried that on going forward. However she now refuses to have an annual flu jab as her boss over 30 years ago had a bad reaction to his jab. No amount of reassurance will change her mind. She really should have it as she is over 85 and has just got through a chancer battle. Her take is that something will get her in the end so why worry! [/QUOTE]
