Re: Flu vaccinations are early this year.

Just read a message, from the NHS Surgery sent 3 days ago, that an appointment should be made for a Flu Jab.

On ringing the surgery, today, I found that all appoinments were gone.

Largely due to the extra number of "Qualifiers".

Someone, who shall remain nameless, said that people were applying "In Boatloads". ().

Anyway, The surgery will be getting more supplies.

Message - Don't leave it too late!

This year I opted to have it at my local pharmacy. It's nearer and administered with a lot less hassle

My surgery has been offering Flu and Shingle jabs for possibly a month now.

Re: Flu vaccinations are early this year.

We called at a local pharmacy this morning asking about flu jabs. They said they have no supplies or details yet. Please come back in a couple of weeks.

Instead of waiting for the freebie from my doctor in April I paid $20 at the chemist and had it done there with no waiting.

Re: Flu vaccinations are early this year.

I am going for a Vaccination on Tuesday and have a long list of 'does and donts' including not arriving early or late .
I have decided to park in town and walk to the Doctors so I can loiter outside the gate and arrive exactly on time and avoid the erratic car parking by elderly patients

We have had the same from our surgery Meg - also told to bring an umbrella if it is raining ... I'm so glad they said that I wouldn't have thought of it myself

The surgery my friend attends is doing a drive-through service where they have to stay in the car.
