Possibly of the bird variety.

On the plus side hopefully Pro Evolution Soccer 5 will arrive in the post today, and I only had to pay £14.99 on it thanks to a misprice on the HMV website :01:

I've caught some ungodly disease of the influenza variety from my son.

Fecking playgroup, it's infested. I think I ought to keep him in complete isolation til he moves out.

On the plus side, I'm in my office and have surrounded myself with sympathetic, tea-making females :01:

Poor Darth. Plenty of bed-rest, paracetamol and hot liquids.

I'm sick too. Probably caught it from you or Manker due to the infectious nature of this forum. Throat feels like sandpaper. Head been stuffed with cotton wool.

Nevermind. Misery loves company and all that. :cry: :cry: :cry:

You could have had the flu jab a my place of work today. :unsure:

The managing directors bint tried to tell someone that if you didn't have the injection and was off with flu you wouldn't get paid. :dry:

50% of people that have that jab end up with it78% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Surely that would kinda defeat the object :unsure:

How does it work?

Your body starts making antibodies to the vaccine virus about a week to ten days after the injection, and they help protect you against any similar viruses you then come into contact with.

Flu vaccinations protect against most flu viruses: they won’t stop you catching the many other viruses that appear every winter. Because flu is generally more serious, it makes sense to get protected.

The flu virus changes , so you need to have a flu jab every year to make sure that you are protected against the latest strain of the virus.

There is no active virus in a flu vaccine so it cant cause flu. People sometimes catch other flu-like viruses, or very occasionally catch flu before the vaccine takes effect.

Cautions

If you have a serious allergy to hens’ eggs, you shouldn’t get vaccinated, and it’s not generally advised if you’re pregnant. If in doubt, ask your doctor.

Healthy people don’t need to be vaccinated; for most people flu is uncomfortable but not serious.
