Went along today for my Flu [prevention] Injection. Have to say how really well organised and smooth it all was considering the numbers involved. Another big plus for the NHS working at it's best.
Nah, she'd fight that off with one hand tied behind her back! She's strong stuff you know.The mrs just told me she had man flu, i told her its not possible she would be dead if she had
Does it work ?
I've been wondering about the effect on colds as well. I used to get every one that was going round but now find that my last one was March 2016. Also, on Radio 4 I listened to an interview with one who has done research on the effect of statins in helping the immune response. So I am wondering if the 2 are working together to help me in resisting the challenge of the cold virus. Having written all this I suppose I will succumb shortly!Had it for a few years now, haven't had flue or even a heavy cold since the first jab. The wife and I had it done yesterday, our local doctors surgery is feckin useless so we had it done at Sainsbury's .
It's an amazing thing to be able to go through the whole winter/year without getting flu or at least a heavy cold, the most I get these days is a sniffle. If I had too I would pay to have it .I've been wondering about the effect on colds as well. I used to get every one that was going round but now find that my last one was March 2016.

Mrs doesn't either. How she used to avoid catching them from me I have no idea.I never have the flu jab. I can't remember the last time I had a bad cold.
Some are rough after it some not.
Others get flu bad later in winter others do not .
Beats me as they say they cant release it untill the prevalant strain on said year is know ?Still early yet so how do they know ???
Just guess at stats. is it ?
