Subject: RE: BS: OK Folks, It's Flu Shot Time
Husband and I walked casually into a large Boots branch yesterday in Norwich. The parking was so easy (big shopping centre, at Riverside). They'd set up a kind of mini-hospital ward. A nurse took our details, then indicated the waiting area. Within five minutes we were vaccinated against the New Flu, and off we went to do some shopping.
This morning, no sore arm or side-effects at all. (I never usually have any problems, tough old biddy!)
Very impressive, and we thanked the Pharmacy staff profusely.
Husband commented on the fact that in his home country, one would have to pay to have a vaccination of any kind. I suggested we send his family some funds so that they can all have Covid and 'flu jabs.
Then, outside Roys store in Wroxham, some volunteers were collecting contributions for polio jabs for people in the Third World. Polio is on the increase apparently. Blimey! One thing after another eh?
