Hi Anne and all, I was the first person in my Trust to be vaccinated with Pandemrix. It was completely pain-free with no side effects after a week. We've given 630 doses so far with one suspected adverse reaction [nothing life threatening].

I am very undecided about having the vaccination and am concerned if I have to administer the vaccines to other people, how can I recommend other people having it if I have made the decision not to have it myself! I wonder if any of you out there have been faced with this dilemma?!

We have 4 nursing staff off sick with suspected side effects, very sore swollen arms, generalised aches and pains etc. I wonder what the volume of staff experiencing side effects is elsewhere?

What is the general response from frontline staff in your trusts? Are they wanting to have it? Or lots of refusals? We started ours at the weekend and was pleasantly surprised how willing staff are to have it - wondering if this seems to be a general thing or specific to Norfolk!
