Flu and COVID jabs are free to those eligible.
Some of you might not be and want to know the price per jab for this winter.
Flu jabs generally come in the range of£18.
Boots are offering the COVID jab for £98.
Please keep this from getting lost on the other thread.
Stay safe. UTM
Shingles jab is also on offer. Two shingle jabs available but given several weeks apart especially for the immunosuppressed apparently. There are age requirements for shingles vaccinations. No charge for those who qualify but can be quite expensive if going private.
That's my 6th jab , difference is ,used to ask you to wait 15 min before you go. Now in and out.
Feel better for it though.
Flu is a bugger, some when they have a cold, say they have got flu.
Flu knocks you out.

Have not done some yet this time, but it always worked, I'm on
whiskey at the moment.
Just got my wife to have the mix, tastes awful, but will see how
she is tomorrow.
After 15 minutes waiting on the telephone, I finally got through to my GP's surgery
on Monday 11th November.
Got a appointment for both my wife & myself to see a nurse-practitioner, who gave
us both anti-biotics.
The GP's at our surgery are working from home, so if a patient requires a referral
to a consultant at a hospital, the nurse-practitioner does not have the authority to
refer a patient.
I have broken my rotator cuff, nurse-practitioner told me she can not refer me, I
must see a GP from the surgery, there are none there.
After telling a receptionist at the surgery that I required to see a GP, only person
allowed to refer a patient to hospital is a physio, who visits the surgery once a week,
because the GP's are not there.
My wife saw a nurse-practitioner 3 weeks ago about a lump on her foot, which is a cyst,
but it needs referral to a hospital after getting a x-ray result back, but my wife has to
see the physio at the practice first, because only him can refer her to hospital.
