Mon, 03 Aug 2009 12:54:57 +0000 http://trueblueblood.com/?p=941#comment-606 As a pensioner, I've had the annual flu jab each year in the recent past, mainly under pressure from my wife. I am far from happy about this, I'm convinced that each year it has made me feel "under the weather" for about a month. So I won't be too worried if I can't have it until last, which will give them far more time to become aware of any side effects. Perhaps they should give a financial incentive to those of us who are prepared to wait, along the line of the airlines, who having overbooked a flight, offer money to those prepared to wait for the next one. This would at least help to fund a few bottles of Scotch which would ease the pain should I then catch the flu.
