I noticed my GP surgery is beginning the flu vaccinations early this year, the organisation it is more complicated because instead of large group bookings they can only book a small number of people at a time.
My GP surgery is going to be using an open marquee with a one way system and the vaccinating starts on September 12th for over 65s to begin with.
It should get some of us safely vaccinated if there is a sudden surge of C19 with the return for many to school and work.
My surgery text me two or three weeks ago offering Flu and also Shingles vaccs, Meg.
I didnât know there was a start date though, it just said to book an appointment.
Gosh that was efficient Mups 
I only found out by accident when being given the option to âpress one to book a flu vaccinationâ when I rang the surgery about something else
I will have to ring our surgery. They text me every year despite not having my number.
yes that is quick âŠbut like everything else now , it just two or three people at a time so it will take longer to get everyone jabbedâŠ
Phoned our surgery and they said they are not taking flu bookings yet ⊠please ring again .
I hope they donât leave it too long to get organised, winter will be here before we know it 
I didnât realise they had a vaccine for covid yetâŠ:shock:
âŠI wish Bob no chance yetâŠ
Iâm at the doctorâs tomorrow for some tests. No doubt theyâll stick a needle in my arm while Iâm not looking like they did last year. 
Flu Jabs
Just read a message, from the NHS Surgery sent 3 days ago, that an appointment should be made for a Flu Jab.
On ringing the surgery, today, I found that all appoinments were gone.
Largely due to the extra number of âQualifiersâ.
Someone, who shall remain nameless, said that people were applying âIn Boatloadsâ. (:-p:-p).
Anyway, The surgery will be getting more supplies.
Message - Donât leave it too late!
My surgery contacted me and offered me an appointment later this month ⊠
Mr Mags and I have our Flu jabs booked for 26th September.
This year I opted to have it at my local pharmacy. Itâs nearer and administered with a lot less hassle:-D
My surgery has been offering Flu and Shingle jabs for possibly a month now.
We called at a local pharmacy this morning asking about flu jabs. They said they have no supplies or details yet. Please come back in a couple of weeks.
Instead of waiting for the freebie from my doctor in April I paid $20 at the chemist and had it done there with no waiting.
Had a letter from my surgery on yellow paper giving me a time and date-Sept 22nd between 11-12.Different colour paper-different day and times.There are four different locations you can attend.I will be going to the community centre in the village.Seems are well organised.
I am going for a Vaccination on Tuesday and have a long list of âdoes and dontsâ including not arriving early or late .
I have decided to park in town and walk to the Doctors so I can loiter outside the gate and arrive exactly on time and avoid the erratic car parking by elderly patients
We have had the same from our surgery Meg - also told to bring an umbrella if it is raining ⊠Iâm so glad they said that I wouldnât have thought of it myself 
The surgery my friend attends is doing a drive-through service where they have to stay in the car.
