I've been offered the flu jab, and swine flu jab..

[Caitlyns Mummy x]

I have no idea why????? Caitlyn isn't entitled, and neither is anyone else I know, yet I've got a letter saying I can have it when I've already had swine flu?

 

[Mamafy]

did you have depression? I know they offer it to people who has had depression?

You're not asthmatic are you?

I believe you can get swine flu even if you've had it, if you got it again you'd get it stronger

 

[Caitlyns Mummy x]

Shit really?

Could be one of many things, I've looked into it, could be the depression, or that my mum is super duper high risk

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

i commented on your FB status, but it said on the radio yesterday that poeple that live with high risk people are being offered it x

 

[Jade&Evie]

I have been offered it because I work for the hospital.

However, everyone in my house has been offered it because of where I work so not sure why your LO isn't being offered it!?

 

[RAFMrs]

I have been offered it because I work in the medical centre (but others in my house havent been offered it).

I'm not having it though!!

 

[Caitlyns Mummy x]

See, I never thought whether me and Caitlyn would have it, I didn't think we'd be offered it. We both have really good immune systems, and we've had swine flu already and lived to tell the tale. Honestly don't see the need for me and her to have it!

 

[Jade&Evie]

I'll be having it but Evie wont. I, personally, don't think it's been tested for long enough to give it to Evie but I want it as it's likely I will come in contact with patients with swine flu over the winter and I don't want it!

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

if i get offered i'm not having it. just dont like the idea of it, especially in pregnancy cos its so new. my dad's being nagged by his diabetes nurse, to get that and the normal flu jab but he doesnt want either!!

 

[Pompey_Princess]

might be worth phoning your gp toria and seeing what they say.

i'm like alice, although not offered it, me or maddi wont be having it, i would like it to be a little more tested if i'm honest x

 

[Wobbles]

To be dumb what has depression got to do with swine flu jab?

 

[Caitlyns Mummy x]

Absolutely no idea!

 

[Caitlyns Mummy x]

Think it's just everyone on the mental health register actually (which I don't think I'm on but could be??)

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

is that could be or should be

 

[Caitlyns Mummy x]

Should be! I have SAD and PND! Recipe for disaster. Luckily Rich has learnt how to deal with my "episodes"

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

god i used to get SAD so bad!! was thinkin i've been ok this year...but i did leave OH a few days after the clocks went back

does depression knock your immune system? that might be the reasoning behind it??
