Should I Have the Flu Jab? Has Anybody Had Any Bad Reactions?

I’m thinking of getting the flu jab this year, and I just wanted to know if anyone has had any bad reactions?

I got pretty sick last year with the flu and unfortunately also gave it to my mum, who decided to have the flu jab this year and has been fine.

I work in a hospital as well, so that is another reason why I think I will have it this year.

I know there’s already threads from other years about this, but I know the jab is a little different every year.

 

If your tinnitus was caused by the flu I'd recommend getting the shot, maybe try to find out if it's ototoxic if you're worried.

 

Oh no sorry I forgot to mention that, I got it from a virus a couple years ago now. I was just trying to find out people’s expirrences or opinions

 

I had to postpone mine as still struggling with a chest infection and breathing still hard .
Hope get it done soon..

love glynis

 

Ah yeah, I think it’s a good idea to put off any jabs if your not 100%. I’m planning to get mine done soon If I’m going to have it.

 

I get one every year. Never had a problem. Now me getting the flu while dealing with tinnitus = problem!

 

Get it if you are worried about getting the flu. It's not 100% effective, but the benefits outweigh the risks.

 

Thanks for the replies everyone, you’ve been very helpful!

 

Just to weigh in on this I got this seasons flu shot yesterday morning and no adverse effects on my existing tinnitus.
