Flu Jabs

[barry1010]

I've just booked our flu jabs online with Boots, for September.
Free for those who qualify, might be more convenient than going to the GP.
Thought some of you might like to know that booking is open.

I've never needed to book, just walked into our local chemist (not a Boots).

Where are we at with Covid jabs? Are they still available/recommended for wrinklies?

We get Flu Jags - is that the same? :-)

just Flu E-scooters down here

Are they road legal?

My GP gave me the Flu jag one year instead of a nurse. He really should have been a vet - I am sure that he intended on passing it right through my arm.

Nearly one million more people in England can have a vaccine against shingles on the NHS from September.

Anyone turning 65 will now be eligible, plus those over 50 with a severely weakened immune system - it was previously available to over-70s.

They're also be a shingles jab from September. Not very nice getting chicken pox when you're older.

You only need the shingles jab once :)
