For Martine. I've refused flu injections for years because my eye condition is linked to an overactive immune response and I can't risk further inflammation. This year I've decided to have it as I don't think COVID symptoms will be taken seriously without having had a flu injection. I've had pneumonia twice in the past so I'm at risk. The flu vaccine for over 65's is as I understand it a booster to the immune response which is generally deleted in older people. I am against one size fits all medical decisions but under present COVID circumstances the few of us who respond differently seem to be forgotten about. I have a flu injection booked at Boots next week. I'll let you know what happens! |
