Last year, never even felt it, sometimes just get slightly sore arm, 2 years ago I had the pheunmovax, I was so ill, worrying, the symptoms were pretty much the same as sepsis.It was like having flu and then some. Different papers giving different messages about this years flu jab, one says its a booster??? the other its a quadruple vac, anyone any the wiser?
I got mine at the chemist on Friday - no question if I was over or under 65 so reckon there is no difference in the jabs. Bit of a sore arm but all well otherwise. Best £9 ever.
On a more curmudgeonly note - just about to write a very stiff letter to my bank complaining about their new internet banking system - it is pants!! I have spent hours this week on the phone to their help desk, trying to transfer money. And they have the cheek to say on their blurb ' we have listened to our customers and made some exciting changes and improvements' - no, no , no. That will take up the next few hours while I ponder my rhetoric.

I am feeling murderously curmudgeonly. Why do I have to shut my windows because some selfish p**ts think an open fire makes their house look cosy? Smokeless fuel is not stinkless! Nor is it without harmful chemicals.
Everyone here has wood burning fires, usually log burners or fireplaces with glass doors. We also burn oil for the central heating as, frankly, the fire gives off too much heat but just in one room.
Our problem is people lighting bonfires without first checking wind direction when it's still warm enough to have windows and/or doors open all day.

The chemist contacted me to offer me a flu jab 'cos they manage my repeat prescriptions and know my age etc. and I got it for free 'cos I'm over 60 and therefore get free presciptions ... if you paid presumably you're not old enough to get a free one and therefore you had the ordinary one not the combination one.

That's strange because I did have a chat to the chemist about the contents of the jab and he never mentioned that there were different ones available. I will ask him when I go in this week to pick up my prescriptions. Can't see why we would be different because we are in Scotland??? Ahh!!>:)
In England, all over 65s will be eligible for the three-strain jabs – listed as costing the NHS £9.79 per dose.
But in Scotland, Fluad – which also boosts the body’s immune response to the vaccine – will only be available to people age 75 and over.
It means about 560,000 Scots aged 65 to 74 be eligible for a standard three-strain jag – deemed less effective by NHS experts.
And if you are under 65 you get the 4 strain jab!!
