There is a theory that that actually works because it keeps everybody else at bay, including any potentially infectious flu carriers.

Had the flu jab a couple of weeks ago, I qualify for it on three different grounds but only get one jab. No after effects.
Had the pneumonia shot 3 years ago, no after effects on that one. After the doctor saying I should have one it took the surgery 3 weeks to wade through my notes to make sure I hadn't had one before as you can only have it once - son who has a permanent health problem gets them every two or three years.

Thinking about it, and delving into ancient history, it hurt quite a lot the first time I had it, was sore the next two or three times and since then hasn't caused any problems.

I have just parted with a fiver in Asda, in exchange for immortality*.
An easy process, you just spend five minutes with a chap whose pleasantness will be unlikely to be exceeded that day, whilst he jumps through computer hoops and then jabs you in the arm. His jabbing skills, based on my survey of one event, are of the very highest - I wasn't really sure that it was over.
* at one point he started typing in an Expiry Date, but this was for the vaccine batch, rather than an assessment of me..

Yes, I asked him, but he refused to make an assessment of me...

I've had proper full blown flu twice in my life and felt like I was dying. It really annoys me when people say they have the flu when they have a cold, clearly never had 'real' flu. I also had swine flu when it was doing the rounds and it was so awful I wished I was dead! I can't have the flu jab, allergic to it

The people who attend work and they say they are flued up make me angry. My retort always is" No you haven't got flu because if you had you would not be standing there".
