Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I just happened to go to my pharmacy about a month ago where they were doing flu shots. Since my rheumy always told me to get one, I just did it. Now I kind of feel bad! there seem to be so many others who need it more than me. gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Anyone with a "compromised immune system" and that's us, folks, should have a flu shot. And according to my doc, a pneumonia shot as well.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hi , I live in the UK and was offered a jab by my GP. Over here most GP's offer it to anyone who is at risk IE elderly, suffering from heart or chest problems or is immunosurpressed. I would get one if you can, it's worth it.

I feel that since I am on Humira and have chronic conditions I should have gotten one but I guess I am not sick enough. My Rheumatologist said, "Get it if you can but don't panic if you don't."

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I am also on my HMO's card list to get the flu shot, as an asthmatic too, I am susceptible to all types of viruses and i guess it's their thinking that a flu shot is much cheaper than a hospital stay. lol -------------- Original message -------------- I belong to Kaiser an HMO and they sent me a postcard asking me to get one.. I was also on Humira and all the other stuff at the time. > > Did anyone get a flu shot?
