The Dreaded Lurgy

[trout]

I am just getting over a bout of the flue , working 6 nightshifts in the rain didn't help much :dash1:
is there any value in getting a flue jab?
Have any of you mob had this injection and is it any good?

[ausjack]

They reckon the oldies should have them..not sayin ya old mate :mocking:

I use to have them but I don't any more as my immune system is slowly building up again.

Hope you feel better soon, chicken soup and rest

I tried Beer and Prawns last night and that didn't work out too well this morning :diablo::laugh2:
I have to go into town today for yet another drug and alcohol test for work, They do the flue jabs at the same place.
I was just wondering if it is worthwhile getting the jab while I am in there.

[ausjack]

Too late mate, ya suppose to get them BEFORE winter..your a trick :mocking:

And beer doesn't work mate, ya need that fighting rum..prawns and beer are pretty volatile at the best of times :laugh2:

Yeah I think it's too late for this winter. I had the shot last year about April maybe. My arm was sore for weeks I swore I'd never do that again but looking back I haven't had a sniffle since and it's 16 months later (almost 2 winters).

Looks like I missed the boat this year but I am most certainly going to put up with a sore arm next year :ok:

Your approaching THAT age :angel:
Get the Flu jab + Pneumonia shot (Five year job)
And don't forget a PSA blood test :idea:
None will stop the common cold but well worth it.

:laugh2: what do you mean "approaching"..does the word "methuselah" ring any bells :winkextra:

[enworb]

A nice bowl of beef pho and a bottle of rum does the trick i find.

the international influenza/s hits Oz around August, so it might not be too late
if you are already sick you best talk to a doctor about getting the jab whilst sick

[ausjack]

[trout]
