Lurkio Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Obviously not medical advice, but we've been here 3 years and the beloved hubster has had the flu twice! There are people here from all over and they are concentrated in small areas. Maybe there are different strains that we Poms haven't been in contact with previously? But amyway - flu jab!!!!!

newjez Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 This winter we have had the hundred day cough in the North. It's not nice. Winter is coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramac Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 This winter we have had the hundred day cough in the North. It's not nice. Winter is coming. I think, fingers crossed, I'm at the end of this now. Had it since New Year and sound like I've got a 40 a day habit! It's nowhere near as bad as Whooping Cough, but it's definitely not nice.

I doubt the flu jab would have helped, but the pneumonia jab may have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the flu jab would have prevented it either - too many different strains around for it to be a perfect science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 55 and never had flu never had a flu jab either. I guess I may run out of luck at some point though :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
