same here ..youngest is asthmatic..been having injection vaccine since age 3 but last year they gave her the nasal spray (11) . she did get a bit poorly afterwards but it was done very late in the year (Nov) where we live as there was a vaccine shortage. possibly she had already picked up some winter lurgy just before having it.Yes. My children have had it every year since they could. My eldest has asthma like his dad, who also has the flu vaccine annually. Myself on the other hand, I’ve never had it but will be getting it this year.
I work in health and social care, we’ve been told we should have it especially this year. But due to high demand, who knows when we will since they must prioritise the elderly.same here ..youngest is asthmatic..been having injection vaccine since age 3 but last year they gave her the nasal spray (11) . she did get a bit poorly afterwards but it was done very late in the year (Nov) where we live as there was a vaccine shortage. possibly she had already picked up some winter lurgy just before having it.
Got to ring in Oct this year as they are only doing over 65s currently.
I work in an office we get offered a free flu vaccine every year through workI work in health and social care, we’ve been told we should have it especially this year. But due to high demand, who knows when we will since they must prioritise the elderly.
I would say its a good idea to get it regardless of covid. The more people who get vaccines like this, the more we can protect people who are immunocompromised etc. (especially if your work are offering!)I work in an office we get offered a free flu vaccine every year through work
weve had an email saying Boots have suspended their service due to unprecedented demand!
They are looking into a new source now.
ive never had it ..i wonder if i should this year after having Covid in March.
Not true. The flu vaccine doesn’t contain any live virus. It’s perfectly safe for your daughter to have it.My 4 year old isn't having it as it's a live vaccine and I'm immune compromised so would have to avoid her for a week if she got the vaccine
Except children get the nasal spray not the injection. And the nasal spray is live, as per NHS info below.Not true. The flu vaccine doesn’t contain any live virus. It’s perfectly safe for your daughter to have it.
