Russian roulette

 “playing Russian roulette with their life”

if  I do not have the flu jab before this winter, 

doctors are warning

because I have Asthma.

Deaths from flu and deaths

from serious breathing problems

both peak during winter.

Asthma claimed 1,410 lives in Britain in 2016, .

Asthmatics who are using preventative medicine,

have needed steroids to control their condition

or have been admitted to hospital after an asthma attack can get a free flu jab.
