I stopped having Flu jabs quite some years ago and because I worked for the Health Department I had to sign a disclaimer that it was my decision not to have the jabs. I never had the flu but those that I worked with and who had the shots fell like flies and continued feeling bad for sometime. I saw too many people I knew over the years who religiously had their shots and who never seemed to be without the flu or a bad cold.
Many of these were elderly people, including my own mother. She decided, much to the horror of her GP that she would not have another flu shot. At this stage she was in her late seventies. She didn't get the flu, as was predicted by her GP, but the other thing that happened was that her general cold like symptoms that she had, and had suffered with for many years, abated.
I too have asthma and my own GP is not happy that I refuse to have the annual vaccination but I believe that it is my choice as to what I let others put into my body.
