Flu jabs.

Guest

Our surgery no longer let us know about Flu jabs. It was only by chance that I saw a poster up in the surgery last week and went to reception & booked for Tony & myself to have ours next Friday.
Why have they stopped automatically notifying their patients I wonder? I'm sure a good percentage will miss out because of this.
If it's to save on postage all I can think is 'How pathetic'!!

Are you notified about yours & have you had it yet?

Our are booked for the 30-10-14. Our surgery no longer notify us. I suppose it really is our own responsibility.

our surgery phoned the wife last week for us to have ours I don't know why, the wife
is allergic to eggs so she can't have it and I never bother as I'm one of the lucky ones
that never gets flu.

We have never been notified, I just ring up early October each year as that's when they start.
Had mine yesterday

Until the first time it happens. Better safe than sorry.

I did have the sniffles once about 8 years ago but it only
lasted a day.

Had ours yesterday. I have made an appointment for early December to have a shingles jab. You have to wait at least four weeks after the flue jab.
