I'm really glad you are going to take them.
I wasn't trying to be nasty but my brother tried to ignore the advice of NHS Direct and ended up with pneumonia! I hope you are feeling a lot better very soon.
I'm all for not sinking into a decline and being a hypochondriac but you have to consider that if you are tempted to "be brave" and go out and about with flu you risk the health and indeed the lives of people who have an underlying health problem (asthma, heart disease, immune system problems etc) especially as you are planning to fly very soon.
