SarahBell Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 What expiry date has it got on it? Someone has just spun me a yarn the reason they're giving it out for this flu is they have stockpiled too much and it's going out of date ...

Don't take that vaccine Nobody knows what the corporation who manufactures it has put in it. I would stay well clear of any vaccine the government is encouraging the people to take these days. I don't trust them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone metioned this on a thread in off topic the other week. I think it had 2 years to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why should I take advice from someone who incorrectly describes Tamiflu as a vaccine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalist Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Annecdotally taking it is a bad idea - unless you're about to die - the side-effects will make you feel worse. I suspect I've had swine flu due to working in an office where a couple of people have had it and for me it was trivial, lasted less than a day which I didn't even take off work. Certainly took nothing for it. Edited August 5, 2009 by Nationalist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazuya Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I don't know if what I've had is swine flu or not. A fever for the past few days and lots of sweating after taking paracetamol. A slight cough which gets worse if I have something cold to eat or drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiflu has a RT shelf life of 5 years if that helps...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I've had Tamiflu many years ago to get over a bought of conventional flu in the Far East and I can confirm that it works brilliantly if you are suffering from flu. Remember, the flu vaccine is not the same as Tamiflu. Sorry to pish on the conspiracy theories. Take the Tamiflu pills or suffer in silence.

ccc Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Tamiflu has a RT shelf life of 5 years if that helps...... Afraid not. The EC, for the first time ever, agreed to extend it's use by date for 2 additional years. Never been done before for any drug. Make of that what you will.

Andy D Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Had some several weeks ago (and I heard this story at the time)... The box I had was dated 2010, my wife and son's boxes were dated 2013 We didn't get any of the Tamiflu side effects either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly took nothing for it. Then it wasn't flu. It was a cold. "Manflu", if you will. Flu knocks you on your back. I've only ever had it once and you know the difference!
