Covid/Flu jab.

I had both a month ago, as I'm doing some travelling soon. Zero issues, just like my folks and others that I know that have been double tapped

Never had shingles either, must be the Midlands water or Stokie Oatcakes

As I’m one in Boris J’s expendable category I’ve had the full set!

I had my Pneumonia jab when I turned 70 but I was “lucky” enough to get Bacterial Pneumonia while ago.
I didn’t realise just how serious it was.

Pneumonia is nasty Ron, learnt all about when my mum had it at 84

I was taken to hospital by ambulance as my blood oxygen had dropped to 83% (measured by iwatch)
Whilst in hospital, I even made tentative arrangements with a member in here too sell my Z - I thought I was goosed!

Had both Covid and flu jabs already. don’t want to catch either. Now wife keeps on at me to have the Shingles one. My poor old arm.

Man up, you have two arms

You sure you don't need a Tetanus boost as well? Then you know you have had an injection

Hell NO!

I've had covid 3 times now according to the testing widgets.
First time was a bit knackered for a couple of days, other two have just been heavy colds which prior to the pandemic I wouldn't even have thought of testing.
So I reckon there is definitely a benefit to building up some immunity.
Worked for me but I know others have had different experiences and I'm not arguing with that.

What I do find hilarious is that for the last 18 months no-one has had a cold. Nor has anyone had 'the flu' (which of course was also only a cold).
Now everyone has covid at the drop of a sneeze.

I think it's because with us we wash our hands still all the time, use a glove to fill the car and try not to touch things with bare hands that others have. I.e. railings, gates, door handles and our bins after collection. Over the top?

You and me both!

I don't think it is over the top as it has actually worked for you and no-one could forecast how their body would react to it.
I suppose I was lucky, but with that luck I'm pretty sure has now come some built up immunity.

Perhaps it was a beneficial side effect of all the stuff they pumped into me prior to Gulf War 1?
Messed me up for a very long time that, but now I could be reaping the benefits.
Can imagine my immune system saying "Covid? Pffft! Is that it?"

Had three Covid jabs now (mainly so we could go on holidays) and still have had Covid three times, albeit the first time was Feb / March 2020 when there wasn't a jab available.

Worst symptom was the loss of taste for about 3 months when I first caught it but after that, I have had worse bouts of cold. I am assuming that the jabs don't prevent you catching it and by now I should have enough antibodies in my system to fight off the worst of what Covid can throw at me.

Won't be having any more jabs unless I have to in order to travel.

Strange for an air borne virus?

Don't let that worry you, Pondrew has that permanently.
