Does anyone know what effect the free flu jabs for over 65s have on you if you have PV?
I paid for one a few years back before I showed symptoms of PV and didn't get flu that winter. Since then I haven't had another jab but I haven't had flu either. This is my first winter to qualify for a free jab and also my first winter with PV (diagnosed that is) but I am in the dark about how it might affect me.

Thank you for your help.
Right, it looks like there's no excuse not to go.
