I had a flu shot two weeks ago, had a bit of a sore arm for a day ( which was probably due to me being unable to relax when I know someone is going to stab me)
Having had a proper dose of the flu in 2016, shortly after my second tumour was discovered, I am shit scared of having it again. My white cells are still low 12 months post chemo and I will not take any unnecessary risks, it can kill you if you are already debilitated. I have not gone through all this to be bumped off by something I could possibly have prevented.
The vaccine is not live, it can not give you the disease. It can kick your immune system up the arse and you can get some symptoms similar to what your body would do if you had the virus. That only lasts a day or so if it happens, which is not as common as you may be lead to believe. People can be easily manipulated into having side effects, tell the world the flu shot makes you pee glitter and that's what everyone will report.
