Have the flu, you'll live but why not have the jab that can increase your chances of not getting it by immunizing you against the most likely strains this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t resist a good hyperlink to help me better understand the original article, but twenty minutes later and you’re so far removed from what you initially started to read. I love it. Remember before when all we had was Encarta? Even that was mindblowing to my child brain at the time. If you read so much, then why are you still terribly thick? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the article you get. Then click the random article button again. From the new article, try and get back to the first article you were taken to by ONLY pressing hyperlinks within articles. Very sad, but fund 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't believe in injections for this kind of thing. Rather if I get it I naturally recover via my immune system. Still doesn't explain the fact why consultants themselves dont get the flu jab either.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm scared I'm gonna get it for xmas three of my team mates are sick at the moment yet they are coming in. Just call in sick damnit! Still feel terrible mate, its knocked me for six! This cough has sat heavy on my chest for weeks plus combined with asthma its a nightmare. My throat is so sore I can barely swallow as well (insert Kenneth Williams gif). The train has been full of everyone coughing their lungs up for weeks, I have no doubt that is the cause. That, or Bangkok flu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
