Pondering this, I could start to feel guilty. I’m not yet of an age to automatically qualify for the annual flu jab, but I have sometimes been offered it in relation to the various other bodily defects I have developed. I’ve always shrugged it off but not because I’m antivax, I’m not. It’s just that I’ve always thought I was man enough to handle a bout of flu, and didn’t want to consume NHS resources in getting the jab.
Actually though, from what I think I’ve learned from Covid people such as me probably do contribute to the overall scale of each season’s flu. Note to self, perhaps, next time it’s offered by a GP, the answer is ‘yes please’?
