I will have the flu jab as infection and asthma don't go well together. I had the pneumonia jab as I had pneumonia at the 2016. It took a year to get back to my normal and I collected an allergy on the way to aspergillus mould, which is all around us and doesn't normally cause a problem. Thankfully we got that under control. I haven't had flu since the 70s. Not something you forget.

Did anyone watch the programme on the 1918 pandemic last night ...... awful.  It crossed from poultry to 1 man who went to the US as a soldier, they were then transferred to Europe in order to aid the clear up after that War.  It went away then returned ........ no anti-biotic therapy then.  Children often survived whereas adults didn't.  Apparently once 1 has suffered with 'flu it kick starts the immune system so 1 shouldn't require vacccination.

But as 'flu virus mutates in order not to kill it's host  .......

Flu changes its structure each year though so immunity is not carried forward. Viruses are so clever.

I don't know if that's true, Annie0710
But I remember I read it somewhere.
And I think I only remember it , is because my OH has had it.

That's why I badger him to cover his chest up with a scarf in the winter.
Because that's stuck in my head...

I'm off to have mine tomorrow at the docs..
Hate going in there, sometimes you come out with worse than what you went in there for...lol
