A week or so ago BBC News announced that the very last batch of over 65s was finally available...

I booked my mum's back in Sept - the health centre said they'd run low,
and would get her a jab in late Oct to early Nov...

Still waiting...

They say she's at the top of the list and will get a home visit asap they sort out staff problems...

I asked my Health centre for an under 65's jab earlier this week
an they said no, they are only doing jabs for patients entitled to free NHS cinjections.

So I've been phoning round local pharmacies...

Boots have run out of under 65s, and can't say if or when next available.
Also there's no point trying any other Boots in the nearby areas.

The nearest independant pharmacy says they decided that due to supply problems, they wouldn't bother at all this year.

Tesco might have some next week depending if the qualified pharmacist is working shifts...

However, LLoyds on the outskirts of town might be able to fit me in for one later today...

Sounds too good to be true, but I'll go all the same.
Despite the heavy rain..


Last year I decided to get a flu jab [I've never had one before..]
Tesco told me to drop in the next day.
So I did, to be told they'd just run out and wouldn't get any more that winter;
and that all other chemists in town were in the same boat.

The following day I went down with flu that knocked me out for about 2 weeks...!!!!!

Probably caught it waiting in Tesco.
