Not another jab aagh!

English would be helpful

Keeeeeeeeeeep jabbing !!!!!

Susiesusie I translated to English, but don't know how I did it. Couldn't have been difficult though - not or me that's for sure. After 4 jabs in left arm, when the flu is available I'm going to have a go in the right.

Use Google Translate.

Had my flu jab last Saturday in Catalkoy.

Had mine in Geçitkale on 22nd Nov - chemist 150tl

Got mine done on Thursday at Tatlisu pharmacy, cost 150 TL. It was the last one though. I had asked a week ago, and he said he would order it in for me and called me when it came in.

Still waiting for delivery at the three pharmcists we use in Alsancak. Wonder how much they will have gone up by the time we get ours?

Had ours done at Ahmed Cager pharmacy in Alsancak yesterday. Near Atakara supermarket.

Thanks Squeaker, will pop in on Monday, pity I can't get there today. How much did you pay btw?

150tl

250TL but that was for the EU one from the South before any became available in the North! Thought it was worth the extra £6 ish to be safe anyway.

Had flu vaccination here for the first time last year. First time ever I had not caught a cold or flu. Maybe, I should not have said that......Sods Law and all that.

This one is my first one ever as well! Living in the hopes it works like yours did - lol.

I have had the flu jabs for more years than I can remember, always had it in uk now get it here. Had the pneumonia jab last year for the first time I am a high risk asthmatic, had 2 sinovac and one biontec.... never ever had the flu, some people think they have it but they just have a bad cold, and by the way I rarely get a cold.... either I am very lucky or just well protected.... hate to say it but I have now survived almost 70 years.... lol. I do believe in vaccines and any other form of medication that will help me survive as long as possible on this planet.

Same as MrsGee, had in UK for years due to asthma. Didn't get it last year, and ended up flattened for weeks. Won't be missing it again.
Felt a bit rough on Friday, but ok day after, better than getting the flu for sure.

alphamike, Mrs Gee, would you believe it, there are flu refuseniks as well. I know whole families here!

Well everyone has choices.... I make mine.... it just annoys me a tad when you have the anti vaccers on their soapbox.... I dont care a jot if they don't want it .... their choice, same as mine, hey ho.... and yeah there are flu refuseniks..... am I bovvered.... nope their ... life, my life, we have choices I have made mine.

Totally agree Mrs Gee, but its when they don't even have so much as a headache or a sniffle and then go all high and mighty on me and give me a lecture is when I have to bite my tongue.!!

Got to agree about the arm ! going to try to get one next week in the right arm too !

It's all the same people, there are those who won't wear a seatbelt and I even think some people actually drive and use their mobile phone at the same time - shock, horror - I have even heard rumors that some drink AND drive as well. It is all for the same reasons - it will never happen to me - I am always in control - it's my body - and on and on and on.

They are probably right as well - it will never happen to them - but I wonder if they ever think that their actions or lack thereof will effect the lives and body of others? Nah, of course not!

Stay safe, take care.
