That was the question on everyone’s lips today at work.
An email came round offering us all the swine flu jab. We’re “front-line NHS workers”, you see.
I was surprised by just how many of my colleagues are choosing NOT to have the jab. Many were saying they just didn’t trust it, and were worried about it [...]
