I'm healthy. I don't have any underlying health issues ... I could afford to lose a few kilos but I'm only morbidly obese in a swimsuit. So does that mean I can pass on the flu vaccination?
I promise, if I do get the flu, not to take up any hospital beds. I'll stay at home, I won't infect anyone else and I'll sip broth til' I come right. Or die. Whichever comes first.
It's just that twice I've had the flu injection - and twice I've got sick. And I know doctors say it's coincidence and I'd have got sick anyway, but two for two? And I haven't been sick any other winter.
I want to do my patriotic duty and I know the Ministry of Health thinks we should all get jabbed to try to ease the load on the health system, but given that I can look after myself, I think will pass.
