[QUOTE="Guitarman63, post: 2314692, member: 531212"] Had mine on Wednesday. No reaction at all. Last year had the pneumonia jab too which caused a swollen and sore arm for a couple of days but nothing serious. They explained that this year's flu jab was 'quadvac' or similar, protecting you from four different strains of flu. If I had been over 65 (I'm 63) there was a different vaccine which also gives the immune system a boost. I know they are a bit short this year and my wife hasn't been offered hers yet as she has no diagnosed underlying health conditions. They (the NHS) are offering a flu jab to everyone over 50 this year in the hope of keeping as many of us out of hospital as possible and I think they are struggling a bit with the volume of takers although they do say there will be enough to go round. They were doing the jabs in a local large village hall with lots of parking and where good social distancing could be better practised. It was a highly efficient business! [/QUOTE]
