Flu jab?

#1

Post by bulleidboy »

I had mine today - have you had yours? I have to say that it was all so easy. With the various limitations in place in what you can and cannot do, I have found several things that work so much better now than they did before. I had to book a slot for the jab - two minute intervals, and don't be early. I turned up a couple of minutes early, and there was nobody waiting. I had a choice of three tents in the car park, and was on my way in a couple of minutes. Previously I have queued around the car park - never a long wait, but this was so much better.

Ours are booked for a couple of weeks time (earliest slot available at Boots). I don’t anticipate any issues either.
Do you qualify for a free one Barry? We still have to fork out for ours.

I do Steve, but I was never sure why? I think I've been having this jab since I was sixty. I recall a standard letter just turning up from the GP practice - you know the type - if your surname begins with A-C turn-up on Wednesday afternoon - and I've been getting the letter ever since. I've got to have a heart-monitor fitted in a few weeks time - only for twenty-four hours. This all started with the hernia op! I suppose it's better to know now if there is a problem - they tell me there are no problems - I feel great. Barry

I have no medical conditions that cause the need for any Flu injections nor has Mrs L. But we are both over 65. So bring it on NHS and we'll have everything you offer. :D :D

My employer paid for mine and any other takers last year due to working in a risky ie germ ridden environment. Now with no job I’ll be organising my own.
