I had a Pneumonia jab a couple of weeks ago and had a very painful arm for 3 days and feeling unwell and very restless on the first night. Didn't expect that..:wah:

[hifinutt]

very true , lets hope flu jab is more effective this year . i gather last year it was not so effective in its efficacy

Back in the day when I was married I tried to encourage my wife to have it , `

i said please dont worry you will only feel a little prick

she replied " No change here then "

[Macca]

The main carriers of disease in the modern world are pigeons and children. Just stay at least 10 yards from either at all times and you'll all be fine.

I carry hand jel as shopping trolleys are a major, as are doors.

Getting my jab at end of october. I get a free one as im likely to cop it if i get ill

Correct but I was surprised how naff I felt. The Flu jab never affects me.

I'm now having to have a course of Hep-B jabs.

[Barry]

Getting mine next week. Usually no side effects, but on one occasion my arm was so sore it would wake me up at night. It persisted for three days and I was about to go back to surgery and complain, when it suddenly stopped.

[Len Co]

Our surgery puts up a big banner urging all over 65s to take advantage of the free jab then I hear on the radio it doesn't really make any difference for over 65s! Never mind, have to go on principle as it's free!!

I dont like needles which is a natural reaction when you think about it.

I still cringe at the pop and pain of a school jab with a massive needle which seemed blunt. The upper arm still feels sensitive and indeed damaged there.

Therefore I would have to be half dead or definately needing travel protection before I accepted someone jabbing me up.

[struth]

I just dont look, and continue to talk away. 9 times out of 10 I dont feel much that way.

That would be your BCG injection for TB. It was common practice at my school to punch people 'on their BCG'. Just for laughs you understand. Great days.

Don't really understand the fear of injections. It's a little painful but less painful than, say, fighting with the cat.

Its all different now , the needles are so thin you hardly notice the injection :)

[Joe]

Flu jab last Friday, didn't feel a thing. I'm fine with needles as long as I can't actually see the injection.

You'll be knackered if you need one in the eye then! ;)

It was making me a bit angry when I finished my post. Did we need it? My kids wont be going through that sort of rubbish because I feel its just government institutions messing around with us. We just stood in a line and accepted our fate

I had skinny arms and that damn long needle seemed to go all the way through :) Honest it still twinges there when I think about it and that was over 40 years ago.

I thought our immune systems were fairly good. Did we really need these injections or is it just the nanny state?

I had a tiny brass particle blow out of a gun breech once and stick me in the eye. Pretty bloodshot for a while.

Had my flu jab yesterday. No after effects. :)

You still only have one head them Barry ;)

They got rid of Smallpox and Polio didn't they? Dreadful illnesses. Smallpox in particular is horrific!!

Prior to the BCG plan, there used to be a fair bit of TB about, my uncle died from it!

There's no doubt Tuberculosis vaccinations worked and reduced its incidence. Although TB is on the rise again, an import we could well do without, along with more Hepatitis and AIDS.

Not so good Grant. Hope she can help sort it for you.

Mine was all over the place six months ago, but seems to have settled down a bit lately. Time to get back on the brandy and cigars! ;)
