It's that time

We had SMS messages this morning telling us that, as over 60s, we are entitled to a free flu jab. All we have to do is go to the Centro de Salud and make appointments.

We're in two minds about this. The vaccine gives you a mild dose of flu to build up your immunity which can be worse than risking catching flu later. Worse still, for some, the vaccine fails to protect them . In other words, they still get flu in spite of the vaccine. So we don't know - maybe next year.
