    This is true. But it still remains true that

    So very bad luck if you do get both.

          Mine is for next week at Boots. I booked it at the beginning of September.

          Boots should be giving them to others under 65 in mid-October however try Lloyds and Tesco pharmacies to see if they have any vaccine.

          GP. local and Asda pharmacies are apparently only giving shots to over 65s.

            Never had a flu jab, ever, however I would probably have a manflu jab if there was ever one

              Maybe some STDs will counter it. More fun than Dengue anyway.

                    Flu vaccine - NHS

                    Flu vaccine side effects

                    Flu vaccines are very safe. Most side effects are mild and only last for a day or so, such as:

                    slightly raised temperature

                    muscle aches

                    sore arm where the needle went in – this is more likely to happen with the vaccine for people aged 65 and over
                    You can't catch flu from the vaccine. If you're going to have an allergic reaction, it'll happen within a minute or two of having the jab so always best to sit in the waiting area for 5 minutes if you think you may be susceptible.

                      More fun getting them, yes. Living with them, maybe not so much.
