Image via WikipediaEveryone who has a long term condition like Pulmonary hypertension, COPD etc should have the annual flu injection.For normal healthy people flu can be nasty and make you feel really unwell but for those with long term health problems it can be far more serious.It can put you in hospital or worse. It is wise to bear in mind that thousands die each year because of the flu and many of them are people with long term health problems.This year for the first time a vaccine for swine flu will be in the injection with two other flu virus`s. I have heard a lot of people say that they were considering not having the injection because of this because they were frightened of the fact that the injection contains swine flu.Don`t think twice about having it and there is nothing to be concerned about at all.The only reactions to the injection I have heard about is a slight sore arm for a couple of days and mild flu like symptoms for forty eight hours. Considering the risks you are taking not having it this is a small price to pay!
My advice as someone who has had the injection is get it now there is nothing to worry about!
