Since joining the ranks of the seriously senior citizens I seem to have heard more from our local doctor's surgery than in all the previous years I've been with them! I suppose in a way it's quite reassuring that they know I'm still breathing.
So first came an invitation for an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm scan, which I'very accepted having lost my mum to a massive heart attack at just 61 it seemed wise.
Now today and invitation for a Pneumococcasion Vaccination to protect against pneumonia which I'm not so sure about. I'm generally not one to take unnecessary medication and, although it says this is a recommended preventative vaccine, my inclination is to say no.
So has anybody had this Vaccination? Are there any side effects? Any advice, anyone?
