The flu vaccinaction needle isn't a live vaccination though, it wont have come from the vaccination.

"By this stage, you will have seen plenty of artists' impressions of the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. Now, you can hear one."

I find it quite relaxing actually and I've only listened to 20 mins of the 1 h 49m.

No, but it weakens the system enough with it focused on that.

Flu vaccine is a bit hit and miss anyway. They nominate the expected strain and vaccinate against it. Any other versions floating around aren’t dealt with.

My luck would have me getting the other strains.

A doctor advised me to have two shots a year , because it is only at peak effectiveness for three months, so I might get a second one about August, as I hear November-December has a lot of flu cases of people whose protection levels have dropped.

I normally have just the one, but a couple of years ago I was also recommended, just for that year, to have 2 shots also and to get the 60+ shots. They must have been anticipating a bad year!

Just to qualify here, I'm not that old, but I do have an increased susceptability to viruses.

It should activate it rather than weaken it.

Yeah, they miss some strains, and hopefully we never know about the ones it knocks on the head. I find I'm usually ok in Aus, but when travelling OS I'm pretty good at picking something up!

They add the Grumpy Gene activation chemical.

Does that go on your expense account?

Got mine last Thursday and asked that very question and the Nurse said the over 65s shot Vaccinates against 4 strains of Flue virus instead of the normal Flue shot which covers 3 strains .

Hopefully it will all come out in the wash. I believe Border Force only had the authority to check visas and for contraband, Similar to Customs. Come to think of it, why didn't Customs do that job? To me, only NSW Health had the authority to disembark passengers due to health issues. I think you are right. He said , she said. More ducks than a pommy cricket side.

I hope you got your pneumonia needle as well. Everyone over 60 should have one, and they're free.
