    I'd rather take a hit from a dirty kneedle of suspect heroin from a randomer on the liffey boardwalk than pump any of that rubbish in to my body.

    Many vaccines use a weakened or dead form of the virus. This may lead to symptoms (not effects), similar to the disease.

    I got it ... Bit headachy a day after but otherwise grand.

    It takes anything from 14 to 21 days for your body to use the information in the vaccine to prepare antibodies though so you aren't invincible for a while and you've got to hope they predicted the right strains.

    It's still better than getting the flu or passing it onto someone vulnerable.

    I got it at my GPs in previous years and he would have it over and done with so fast and painlessly that you'd have no idea it happened.

    Got it in a pharmacy this time! I ended up bleeding! Admittedly, it's a tiny little injection so it was only like 1 drop of blood but still ...

    Definitely definitely going to the GP next year. Technique is everything!!
