That would certainly wheedle out the imposters, Meg

Shirley, I think all the letters for those who qualify for the jab are being sent out by 1st October ....... so you will probably receive yours sometime next week.

Re: Flu jabs

We start our jabs on the 4th OCT, with us its just a matter of turning up, giving your name and await your turn I also had a jab for pneumonia, first when I turned 60, then another at 70, now they tell me I shouldn't need another, (I wonder if they are trying to tell me something), anyone who feels at risk can have the Jab if they pay, at our surgery its £10, my daughter and son in law both have this with working in retail, and in the 13 years I have been having the injections, I have never had as much as a cold.

Joe, do you have one of those picker-upper thingys? A friend of mine had one before she had her hip replacement; she couldn't bend down comfortably either .....
