Having the flu vaccine?

The flu season is well developed and infection levels are fairly high. If you're not vaccinated

, does the level of hospital strain etc, encourage you to get the vaccine?

No, because I'm not in any of the categories of people who should seek out getting it.

I don't use the NHS unless absolutely necessary or it's something I can't resolve using OTC meds.

Anyone can have a vaccine but only certain categories get it for free.

Oh, I know that. I just don't feel the need to have it.

I'm not quite at the age where I can't fend off "normal" sickness like cold and flu, without the aid of additional medication. OTC meds, rest and keeping hydrated are working perfectly fine at the moment.

I'm actually near the end of a cold that's going around right now lol.

No I have it every year anyway and have done since I was around 40.

I had flu (real flu not a bad cold) twice and I never want to have it again.

I think those who have had true flu, wish to never get it again. I've not had mine this year, which is remiss of me.

The benefits of vaccination can include the protection of others, including those unable to get vaccinated. I think a lot of younger people have missed out on education, into how health protection can be a community endeavour. Pregnant women, people undergoing chemotherapy and those with compromised immune systems, are amongst those who we may encounter, potentially putting their health and lives at risk.

I wouldn't agree with privatisation of our health service but it's great that individuals can buy, at very low cost, treatments like this that can benefit us all.

^^ I suggest that the best way to increase uptake of flu vaccinations is to tell people they can't have them...

telling people to have or not to have is the problem people can get what they want or dont want

After having the flu last year, it literally wiped me out. Had to take time off work because I couldn’t even get out of bed. The only reason I’m having the flu jab this year is to avoid that again xx

I've only ever seen one person with real influenza and they were normally fit and healthy, ended up intubated in ITU for several days. In their 30s not in any at risk category.

a vaccination makes your body produce antibidies giving you a natural immunity thats the way vacinations work

couple, us we him her.

I'm perplexed at how easily people have been fooled by all this anti vaccine propaganda.

Following questionable information on some ambiguous YouTube channel or a link on X then claiming it as "genuine scientific research"

Grow up!

I had my flu jab, I'm a palliative care nurse.

Influenza mutates each year and is very severe illness. Anyone whom has ever had the flu, I don't mean a cold or sniffle - would tell you how bad it can be.

Vaccines work, also it helps reduce the burden to the NHS too. I understand people have antivax ideologies but please educate yourselves.

NHS worker here, for 2 years now I've had my flue vaccine. Prior to this I had flu once. Never again do I want it nor would I wish it on anyone either.

Imagine the worst cold/chest related infection you've ever had and times it by 100×.

I work in the hospital setting and I am seeing a number of people with vaccine denialism and self made health status get admitted and end up badly. My advice is that if NHs offers you, please get it and done be a super hero. Afterwards, there is nothing to even comment about. Sick people can’t make any posts! Go figure.

Perplexed who you’re speaking of …. Is it another thread we should go to to castigate the non compliant ? Or is it the usual Shouting at people we think said something ?

I know of two reasonably fit friends of friends get into trouble with flu this winter. They run marathons and fells and got into trouble that required hospital treatment with severe flu symptoms. They didn't take a flu jab as they thought they were super fit etc.

I can't get the flu vaccine on medical grounds, but I've been lucky this year.. not so much as a sniffle!

Flu is generally harmless though quite unpleasant for a few days while with fever, for the majority of the people.

I'd say, some very vulnerable people should be vaccinated, despite the variable effectiveness of flu vaccines.

I suppose I may consider it when I'm over 70yo.
