From your source - in fact the 1st 2 paragraphs:

All two to 17-year-olds in the UK are to be offered annual flu vaccinations.

If 30% take up the offer, there will be 11,000 fewer hospitalisations and 2,000 fewer deaths each year, the chief medical officer for England says.

IT'S VOLUNTARY AND FREE AND WILL SAVE A HEAP OF MISERY IF PEOPLE TAKE IT UP!

Way to miss the point OP!

This is just another way to make money and has nothing to do with saving lives
just leave our kids alone ....

Can anyone understand the logic in this even if vaccines was more or less safe??
Since when did healthy young adults die from a regular flu?? These vaccines does not even work, since hardly ever vaccinate you against the right strain.
Why the hell do they keep injecting children with heavy metals for diseases that does not even harm most people?

well at least it's nasal spray and they won't traumatize the children with needles.

Young adults magically stopped passing their sicknesses to grandparents, young children and other people with weak or compromised immune systems did they? News to me.

I have had one flue shot in my life and I got sicker than I ever got with the flue. My daughter gets sick when she gets the shot also and all her kids have very serious reactions worse than the flu too. We have a very strong immune system and it reacts swiftly and strongly to remove threats. Problem is the threats aren't real and they are in your blood. The body doesn't know they aren't real though so puts on a ferocious attack on it. We don't need flue shots.

My other daughter from my second wife can take a flu shot no problem and so can my 2nd wife. They don't have any reaction which bothers me. You should have some reaction to show that your body is fighting something. No reaction means the body doesn't produce a defense. Seems strange to me that a foreign invader is not recognized. Maybe that's why I rarely ever get the flu and if I do it's destroyed swiftly. The wife's flue lasts three times as long as mine and she gets the flu fairly often. The only time I got the flu in the last thirty years was when I was on meds that included immune system blockers as part of their chemistry. I'm not taking any meds unless I research them first. If I want to temporarily block an overactive immune system I take a multimineral pill. If it's causing me to get tight throated I take a benedryl. No doctor needed, it works every time for me. I won't say it will work for others though. Everyone is different.

It doesn't matter if it's the nose spray or the shot, my daughters kids get a reaction worse than the flue when they get either. I have been through that already back in about 73 and won't ever get a flu shot. I know that she is not overreacting and so do a few doctors. A doctor told my daughter not to have the kids get flue shots because of this problem. The school personnel and health workers won't listen to her when she tells them the kids can't get shots and say that she needs to get them vaccinated. She has evidence saying that the shots are wrong for her kids but people won't accept the proof. A doctor would accept the evidence so why do nurses and others not understand? Our immune system attacks flues and bacteria fast and thoroughly making it hard to even pass on the illnesses to others. We do have problems with asthma like symptoms sometimes but I don't think it's asthma, our bodies try to tell us to leave a place because it senses pathogens.

Don't think you are inferior if a flue shot makes you sick and you can't take them. You have a good or possibly too good immune system. You may get autoimmune disease later in life but that's life. Don't worry about it learn what to eat to control itl Immune system suppressants are most times antioxidents or antihistimines. Histimines are usually oxidents and create energy and are most times immune system boosters. I try to generalize these things but it is much more complex than I could explain in 50 pages.

this year is the first in ages that I haven't had a flu shot - and also the first in ages when I have actually come down with flu that has incapacitated me for several days.
