Who us sending them ? Mine come from Dr's
if yours are same you could ask them

What are flu notifications?

I get an invitation for a flu shot from my GP once a year, just one email per year and I can choose to go for the jab or not.
I like the reminder.

I don’t want a flu jab

This is your prerogative, but there are reasons why its given to diabetics as a priority.
It can be fatal in some cases.

I have had the flu jab from my GP surgery for years and haven't been ill since having it.
Could i politely ask why you don't want it?

Thanks

Tony

My son who is not diabetic had a very rare side effect from the flu vaccine last year. He had a very high temperature within 24 hours of having the jab and shortly after this noticed that one of his pupils stayed small even in a dim light. He had several tests and check ups to make sure nothing more sinister was behind this, nothing was found. It was likely to be a mild case of Guillain Barre syndrome which can in rare cases be triggered by the flu vaccine. However if he had had the flu his symptoms would have been much worse.
My son had this year's vaccination a week ago and apart from feeling a little off colour for a day or so has had no reaction this time.

Assuming you are referring to NHS in England communications about flu vaccines, @Sarah69 the information in this link could be of use to you.
