Hello everyone,

Vaccines have been one of the biggest medical advances in history, protecting us from diseases like measles, polio, pneumonia, flu, and even COVID-19. Many of us think of vaccines as something for children, but in reality, adults need boosters and new vaccines throughout life, especially as we age or live with chronic conditions.

👉 Doctors recommend adult vaccines such as the flu shot, COVID-19 boosters, the shingles vaccine, and pneumonia vaccines. But side effects, medications, and conflicting advice can sometimes make the decision feel confusing.

We’d love to hear from you:

Do you keep up to date with your recommended vaccines?
Have you ever had concerns about vaccine side effects?
Has your doctor or pharmacist recommended a vaccine you didn’t know about?
How do you feel about the role of vaccines in protecting people with chronic conditions?

I am up to date with all vaccines, i.e. flu and covid.

I am not at the age yet to receive Shingles vaccine, and think only covid this year is for those that are vulnerable.

I have my flu jab every year without fail, but flatly refuse to have the Covid one after a bad reaction to the two I did have!

I can never understand parents who won't vaccinate their children claiming that they do them harm.

No I haven't had any vaccines , flu, shingles, etc for about 10 years now and I haven't had any issues with my health. I regularly take vitamins for my immune system I also have lemon and honey drinks, so I try to keep away from vaccines my choice of course.

How is feel about vaccines? I think some vaccines compromise with medication although we the public are not made aware of. Covid vaccines made me suspicious, how can a vaccine be approved after one year where as in my own research it takes approximately 10 years to approve vaccines, medication etc.

I try to live a healthy life, even though I have COPD and Osteoporosis. Eating properly drinking lots of water and exercise. I not perfect all of the time because at times I feel I have no energy. I've never been admitted to hospital since being diagnosed and I have never been upto date with vaccines ie Covid, flu etc even though I'm classed as vulnerable. My choice.
