Ani 1,124 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 They want people to have the flu jab to reduce the potential of people getting it and taking up resource and maybe beds if we get an outbreak Had mine a few weeks ago took 15 minutes from arriving to leaving Just an extra precaution to keep pressure off NHS. No impact on vaccine roll out has been mentioned Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You need to assert dominance with cats. The only way to do it is boot the cunt into a nearby canal. If it makes its way home, you have established yourself as the alpha. At that point you can either throw it in a bin or launch it across several gardens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Each batch has to go to Wrexham for filling into vials. Hopefully there isn't a world vial shortage as has been stated on the odd occasion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you sure? Anyway, I can get a flu jab at our village chemist, I can't get a COVID jab there, and doubt I'll able to for a very long time - I think that's the main point. So, as my local pharmacist isn't able or indeed allowed to give me, or anybody else in our village a COVID jab, surely it makes sense for him to be doing something, especially as we have plenty of flu vaccines now.

I'm working from home, so may as well get myself jabbed up ready 💉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You wouldn't want to get protected against one virus and come home with another. The more that have it, the merrier. Strangely, I've not had a cold this winter, the odd sniffle but nothing like usual. Perhaps its the distancing and masks etc, but I do wonder. Come on Peelyfeet..

Pharmacies are chomping at the bit to get the vaccine, boots reckon they can do 500k a month the leader of the independent pharmacy body said they’ve thousand of pharmacies across U.K. with qualified staff ready to go if needed.
