AT LEAST EIGHT people have died of flu in Ireland in recent weeks as an outbreak of the virus hits the country.

Pharmacists have urged people – especially the elderly and vulnerable people – to get vaccinated to avoid picking up any of the strains of the flu, including swine flu, which have been circulating.

So do you get the flu vaccine?


Poll Results:

No, I don't get it (1318)
I've gotten it a few times (785)
Yes, I get it every year (266)
