Swine Flu jab.

Has anyone had the injection for this?

I have had a letter from my surgery to ask if I want to have it done and just wondered if there were any after effects.
I have already had the usual one that is available every year but I am a bit wary of the swine flu injection.

Had it yesterday Maisie. No ill effects whatsoever so far.

My OH was offered it, but he didn't bother, probably influenced by the fact that I had Swine Flu and he didn't catch it (probably because because he gave me an even wider berth than usual)

I have been invited to have one next week, seemingly because of my diabetes. Not sure whether I should take it or not, hubby had his with no ill effects.
Worried because I had chemo last year. My friend is undergoing chemo no and has been given conflicting advice by her doctors. What to do!!!

I think you should JJ, I know in most people its not a serious illness but in those of us with underlying health problems it can be a killer. Better safe than sorry.
