WHO SHOULD NOT GET THE VACCINATION?

A good number of individuals are eligible for the flu vaccination. However, there are a few people who shouldn’t consider having it. These include:

– Those who are currently feeling sickly with a fever. It’s advisable to delay getting the jab until you feel better.
– Anyone who is allergic to an egg should speak to their pharmacist before getting the flu vaccination. This is because the vaccine is made up of egg content.
