Okay guys,
I need some advice options.
I medically can't have the flu vaccine (anyone else out there that can't?) Does anyone know how much a difference there is between the flu and covid vaccine? Would/wouldn't you get it?
Side note I've got an appointment with my gp but just looking for some feed back from others in a similar position.
I've spent a fair amount of time researching and I'm still not sure and pretty confused to be honest.

I would be seeking the advice of an immunologist. My son has a blood disorder which makes all vaccines, medications, anesthetisics risky. Our Immunologist put together a protocol for us.
Yes speak to professionals. They ask all of these questions beforehand. If you've ever had a reaction you should get it done at the hospital so you're there in case.
Why can't you have the flu vax?
Allergic reaction last time seen me in and out hospital and severely sick for 17 weeks. My gp told me not to get it again.
There could be any number of reasons for that completely unrelated to the COVID vaccines. You really need to speak to a doctor familiar with your case and well versed in the pharmacology of the COVID vaccines.
Update, I've spoken to my gp and they have recommended against it
