Flu Season (Australia, NZ)

[VladTepes]

Lots of focus on CV19 but don't forget it's flu season.

Get ya jabs. 

Queensland: A surge in influenza cases in the state has prompted doctors to issue a vaccine warning for children and vulnerable groups. Since the start of April 2022, 457 people with influenza have been admitted to public hospitals in the state, including 30 people who have required intensive care. (ABC News)

Nah, I haven't done vaccines since I left high school. There some other drugs I don't mind doing.

Did mine recently. I have a new Doc here and he's a bit "different".  Sri Lankan Indian, super skinny, funny bloke, I was getting my regular 6 month medical and the conversation went...
"You had a flu jab"
No.
"Want one?"
Yeah.
Jab, job done, about as quick as it took to read that!

[grog]

Must do, not allowed into my Mums home without proof of flu jab. Last two years got sick a few days from it.

[Hooli]

Nah I'll pass cheers. Had it once as they kept pestering me cause I had asthma, only time I've ever had flu was shortly after that...

[Kiwifruit]

Had the flu jab year before rona arrived. Still got the flu....I ask doc what's the story, different strain of flu he says......so that works then ??

And heard recently you blokes in Straya got 'monkey pox' not nice, sounds like one you can keep to yourselves.

[Hooli]

Aye Monkey Pox has been in the news slightly here too. As a 'plague mk2' it doesn't seem to be working for Project Fear.

[Irish in Oz]

32 years in Australia, I never got a cold never mind a flu.

[GSXKING]

If you remind yourself to use the same protocols to protect against Covid you shouldn't get the FLU. I called Covid WUFLU and those I know who've had it that weren't vaxxed had a tough time, those who received VAX said it was similar to a bad FLU. Just my two cents worth 

[froudy]

I got triple vaxxed along with my wife and we still both got Covid19 a couple of months ago

UK now dealing with Monkeypox Virus, whatever that is

[Fast1400]

My reply to (and feelings on) this is simple...TRUST NO ONE!
Enough said...

[VladTepes]

Can we PLEASE not make this a vax vs anti-vax thread etc.
I was just posting for awareness.


Thanks,
