It's all a gamble as to whether there will be an outbreak this winter. I just think that I wouldn't want flu and if this helps avoid it, it's worth having.

However, last year my brother-in-law was very ill for a couple of weeks and a friend of my wife was also afflicted. This year it is a new 'advanced' vaccine being rolled out universally. I don't normally react to the jab but this year I have had a sore throat followed by a runny nose and a very tickly cough for over a week, resulting in my ribs being so painful that I dread the next cough! Any other sufferers? Cheers, Dave
