Re: Flu jabs
Yes, Mum received hers, also booked for 6th October. They also state on the letter that carers can receive it too. When I booked Mum's appt. I mentioned if it was applicable to me and she said I should have received a letter too, but I haven't.Anyway, if I remember correctly, it only costs around £11/12?

The letter states: "If you have a carer, paid or unpaid, they can ask their own GP for a FREE flu vaccination."
I suggest you give your doctors surgery a call, telling them you are a carer, Berxer .....

I suppose they are a bit stricter these days. I just had to make an appointment each year and say I was a carer and I was booked in for it, no letter or anything.

Re: Flu jabs
Now I have COPD I have the flu jab every year, that is the last thing I want to catch. Got my card this morning, it doesn't say anything about a carer or whether it contains the H1N1 Swine flu virus or not. It did last year. I am usually in and out within three minutes, they have got the system off to a fine art.
