I've had the flu jab for the last few years and if I didn't get it for free (weedy asthmatic) I would definitely pay for it.
I suggested years back we use part of the first line fix money to offer the flu jag to anyone who wanted it but alas they didn't put the idea into action.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

My DOM has been through everyones sick records and anyone who has been off with Flu has been offered a Flu Jab paid for by RM. Any of you lot been offered it?
I've had the flu jab once, only because i was working in a care home. (if you think RM's bad we had to pay for it ourselves and provide proof we got it or face disciplinary!)
anyway that was the only year I remember not getting even a little bit ill.
I usually get a really nasty cold/flu/chest infection type thing around my birthday in early March, I didn't even get a hint of that that year.
So i'd say if RM are willing to pay for it, go for it.

I just "man up" and deal with it because my body is a finely tuned machine.

I've already had the flu last month,was off sick for 3 days and cried like a baby all the way through it.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
