TB jabs

[Geordie_Rob]

For the swine flu. Every year the WHO suggests what they think is going to be the major strain affecting the population each year. A couple of years ago they decided it was going to be the strain commonly known as swine flu. That is why the seasonal flu jab a couple of years ago was for swine flu.

About 6 years ago I had proper flu (as opposed to a bad cold - sometimes referred to as "man flu") & I genuinely thought I was dying. I barely managed to drag my arse out of bed for 5 days. Apart from 1 trip to the GP & a few trips to the loo, I didn't move. I didn't eat & had to force myself to drink. All the rest of the time I slept.

I get the flu jab every other year now & also any other inoculations they recommend for me. Mind with my other health conditions, I can't afford to not get them & chance being ill.

Sorry to get away from the subject.

Anyway, yes I have had my TB injection when I was a kid & yes my kids are both going to have it once they become old enough.
