MAC33.

 

The research that was undertaken by  Laura Hewitson  sound be given to an independent team to see if Hewitson's results can be replicated.

Would that be this Laura Hewitson?

And the article MAC33 linked to came from a website run by someone who appears to collect conspiracy theories like they were going out of fashion.

Longcol,

 

Thanks for that link-very interesting.  

 

correction to my post: "sound"   to "should".

For those in the right category it might be prudent to get the Pneumonia  vaccination.

I had it in 2002 and it last a lifetime .

I agree with you, I had them both, but it did not stop me from getting Pneumonia, but there were mitigating circumstances. if it available to you and you do not take it, in my eyes you are silly.

I'm waiting to get mine for pregnancy, apparently the over 65 flu jab has been available from my GP for a while but the one for me isn't available until the 25th of this month. I'm not sure if this applies to other surgeries as well, worth a check.

Mines due tomorrow.  Take THAT viruses!!!

There is an injection for Pneumonia, I’ve already had it because I’m asthmatic, about 15 years ago.  It’s suppose to last you a lifetime, so you only need the one injection.  It might be worth checking to see if I’m right.   

 I’ve just noticed in  your post that you have already had the Pneumonia injection.

I've had mine - free as I am 'front line' staff. Painless and I worked a 10 hour shift afterwards.

Flu has started early this year - several colleagues have had it before the 'flu jab was available at work.

Please get yours now !

Had mine too - NHSD are rather hot on it too even for those in the ivory towers at TSQ They said something about an early start to the season as well...
