Flu Jab.

[Dragonfly231958]

I have had flu jab years ago only to be so ill I could not get out of bed or do anything, only to find out I had severe allergic reaction to the contents, which are the makeup of the flu vaccine, so was told as having severe chronic asthma I should have the pneumonia injection, thought I was going to die in that much pain not sure if I was on this planet.. Yet again had bad allergic reaction, so I am in the no camp, I also take herbal medication to which I have no problems with... I am Type 2 since 2011..

Yes, that's exactly why you get asked if you allergic to the vaccine when you go to have the vaccine.

Is there a way of telling before they stick the needle in you?
Dragonfly, welcome to the forum, allergic reactions are rare, so they say anyway. I'm not sure how you'd tell until you have the jab. Not sure of the efficacy of herbal remedies. Surgical mask might be the answer.
