Subject: RE: BS: flu - to jab or not to jab?
Hi Al

My wife and I have been having flu jabs for a good few years now.

Before having the jabs I used to suffer from very bad colds all winter and on 2 occasions I contacted Flu, one the Asian version which knocked me out over the Xmas & New year.

Since having the jabs I don't get anywhere near as many colds and certainly they are less intense than previously. Pleased to say that I haven't had Flu either. I have no effects immediately after the jabs.

My wife though like you does feel rough for about 24 hours and has the sniffles for about a week.

Our friend who we went on holiday with last week had his jab on Thursday and he is feeling rough too.



Regards

Mike
