Experts back flu jabs extension

Offering free flu jabs to people aged 60 to 64 should be considered by the government, vaccination advisers say.

Currently in the UK, over-65s and people with health problems like diabetes, asthma or heart complaints are eligible for a free jab.

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and immunisation said extending programmes was "definitely worth considering" as more over-50s were being hospitalised.

last time i had jab got flu really bad ,so i don't bother and i usually ok

The place I worked at a couple of years back offered free flu jabs so I took the offer up.

Never felt as sick for 2 weeks in my life. Was worse than having the flu

But then thinking about it I had just agreed to be given 3 different flus at the same time
