00:00Have you already got or do you plan to get your flu jab this year?
00:04No, I won't. I won't be getting one, no.
00:06Can you tell me why?
00:10I just can't be bothered really, to be honest.
00:14So, last year the flu vaccine uptake was much lower.
00:18Do you think enough is being done to raise awareness about the importance of a vaccine?
00:23I'm not really seeing much, to be honest, on the news or the media or anything like that.
00:28So, no. I mean, it's more of a winter thing, but perhaps we'll get into that once the winter comes along.
00:34Honestly, I'm jab hunting at the moment, so flu and all that kind of stuff is not really something that is on my mind lately.
00:42But yeah, I mean, health is always a concern.
00:46What concerns, if any, do you have about the flu vaccine?
00:50I think really it's about, you get it and it makes you ill.
00:55So, I'd rather not. I'd rather not. I feel I'm pretty resilient enough as it is.
