Anybody been able to get the flu jab at the doctors?
I phoned up today and was told they didn't have any, didn't know when they would be getting any, and I would be better going to a pharmacy to get it done.
If I do that, would I have to make an appointment?

Mrs NJ and I are going to have ours at Tesco's next week. Timed appointments. I doubt my GP surgery is having much to do with it. They did absolutely nothing towards the Covid rollout apart from providing a list of patients' names to somebody else. In any case, I'm quite glad about that. When we had our 'flu jabs at the GP's last year it was a complete debacle. It was one of the few occasions the surgery has opened its doors (that's one way to describe it) in the last eighteen months. We had to queue in the rain for almost an hour before being allowed, one at a time, into the premises. It was a "turn up and jab" session supposedly lasting from 9am to 1pm. By 11:30am (just as we were going in) they were considering closing the doors as they were about to run out of vaccine.
Whilst we're being done next week we shall make enquiries about the Covid booster. They've been dishing out doses one and two recently so hopefully they'll do the boosters as well.

I called my local surgery a few weeks ago to ask about my annual flu jab and was told they would contact me. This was done and I had to go to my local place where I had my Covid jab. All the local surgeries were represented there, so tonight I am done.
While I was there, I was told I would be contacted again, possibly in November for a Covid booster. However, in answer to your question, the only way to find out is to go in to your pharmacy and ask. You could try phoning them of course, but they're usually very busy. Good luck.

Our surgery listed dates available, we rang up and booked ours - 4/10 at 2.00 p.m.. This is for one of the local village halls that they use to spread around this country practice. Normally you would just turn up, but this year they are constrained for some reason and you need to book. T.B.H. I reckon they'll have some spare to jab into people who just turn up anyway.
