if you have an elderly relative or someone you look after who is having the vaccine, it is a good idea to make sure they will have someone around who can help them afterwards.
A local older lady was vaccinated on the Tuesday, for two days she had a sore arm and for the last couple of days she has been quite ill with severe flu like symptoms.
This is all normal and will pass.
The point of my post is just that it's important if you have a relative or someone you care for you getting vaccinated to make sure they have some assistance if they have a few days when they are not feeling very well and may need some assistance.

"Is having a few days of severe flu symptoms a normal expected reaction ?"
Her daughter has been looking after her and has been reassured by medically trained people that it is a possible normal reaction.
She is feeling a little better today and has eaten.

"Great news about your aunt
How will care homes cope if all the staff and residents experience severe flu like symptoms at the same time ?"
I hope that this story is just scaremongering,and only effects an occasional older person,not all,as we have 65 residents and nearly a hundred staff
We would have to cope as best we can, if it is the case
Nobody has had Ill effects from having the flu vaccine recently,staff and residents,yet people worry it might give them the flu

Most people seem to have no after effects at all, much like flu jabs, but some will have soreness at the point of entry and a few do get cold like illness for a couple of days. Obviously the more vulnerable the person, the more difficult this is for them. If you do know vulnerable people who are getting immunised, it's a good idea to check they have someone looking out for them in case they need some help. |
