When are the flu injections available for 2014 in Tenerife?

[Snowdrop]

Has anyone any idea as to when the flu injections will be made available in the doctors surgeries this year. Usually heard something by now. ??????

[Ecky Thump]

If you mean Tenerife, then I am clueless, but here in Scotland they are now offering this at the Doctors, health clinics and some chemists.

On a site we aren't allowed to mention it says to call the Doctor after the 15th of October to make an appointment.

Never had one and never will. Most people that I know that have had them always seem to get colds.
I cant remember the last time I had a cold. Mind you I do spend four months of the winter in Tenerife :)

I have one every year, I also can't remember the last time I had a cold, but Flu is nothing like a cold.

I don't understand why people think a Flu Jab will stop you getting a bad cold.A cold and Flu are two entirely different things.I knew somebody that died with Flu at 49, so yes I will have one never even had a sore arm after having it which can happen, it can ache for a couple of days after. My OH will also have a Jab for Pneumonia as he has had that when he was younger.

I've heard its all the old bird flue serum that they are getting rid of.
My body is my temple and not to be abused :)

I also get the flu jab every year and for the first time this year I'm getting the pneumonia injection.

Is there a Jag for Nagging Wife Syndrome ?

Ecky are you buying Carol a Jag.

When I told her that I was going for a flu jag on Thursday, she said "Make sure it's the one that's for Swine" I don't know what she meant.???

This is the information that NHS Scotland have sent me.....

You can also get a free vaccination against pneumococcal disease which can be serious, and cause pneumonia and meningitis. Unlike the flu vaccine, most people only ever need one dose of the pneumococcal vaccine.

At our GP in the UK, we are also offering over 75's the shingles vac.
Children 2, 3 & 4 also being offered flu nasal spray.

I've been having the flu jab for the last 5 years without any problem and it's over 5 years since I've had the flu. I've also had the pneumonia and the shingles jabs. Now if only there was one for arthritis

[lynno52]

I have just got back from the doctors after having my flu jab. Pain-free and definitely worth having!

[warbey]

I had a bad dose of Flu in My late Teens.
I was ill for three Weeks and took a few Months to get back to normal.

Older People especially tend to develope Pnuemonia when ill and Shingles is horrible.

A prick in the Arm every so often is a No Brainer to Me...........

[essexeddie]

A what in the arm?

[Ecky Thump]

A what in the arm?

That's what the nurse said to me!:devil2:

[Lissalyon]

Me neither and I don't spend 4 months of the year in Tenerife, sadly.

I don't believe in them.

And many more people die from car crashes so you don't ride in a car? The list goes on.
There are always statistics, its a matter of choice. I just don't believe in pumping too much cr*p into my body every year.
