Twenty years ago we had flu jabs...and both of us caught flu,me for about 6 weeks.

I rejected the several offers from the surgery for my free injections....until this last month when he advised that because of some other problems it would be of benefit to have another,based on the fact that the old vaccine was a 'live' one but not the present version.
So SWMBO and I had the new jab...me,just some minor irritation, my wife had immediate reaction with hard lump on arm which virtually glowed with heat. She spend two days in severe pain and her arthritis was just awful...and her teeth ached.. I rang the surgery after two days and they had her in for an ECG and advised that she didn't have an injection next year as she could have been in a cardiac arrest situation!..............we have other friends that have had these injections without any reaction at all.
