[QUOTE="jenrose, post: 89955, member: 11454"] Hi The usual annual flu jab will not prevent swine flu as it is a different type of virus therefore requires a different vaccination. A vaccine for swine flu is being tested now and won't be ready for some weeks. If you do come down with symptoms of the flu telephone your GP rather than the national flu line and tell them that you have diabetes and they will give you advice. That is the advice the government is giving to people with diabetes and other chronic health conditions. [/QUOTE]
