25 September 2022 19:15378611I had mine yesterday, Saturday, in the village hall, I booked it last week on line. My appointment was for 17.50.I arrived early and was seen to straight away. It was quite busy and I think I was one of the last of the day.
Ross, it is a bit hit and miss in booking. Apparently you have to keep going on line using the NHS address until Whitfield turns up.Ross Miller likes this - Keith Sansum1

9 January 2023 08:34379834Not my thing. But, if you read German, this might tell you something:
https://www.nzz.ch/wirtschaft/boostern-das-war-gestern-die-schweiz-sitzt-auf-millionen-von-ueberschuessigen-impfstoffdosen-ld.1719840
If you don't, it goes something like:
'Boosters, that was yesterday – Switzerland is sitting on millions of surplus vaccine doses. The Swiss Federal Council wanted to play it safe and has generously ordered vaccines even for 2023. Because the willingness to vaccinate has fallen sharply, more and more doses must now be destroyed.'
It's amazing you can find out things on that new interweb thingy.John Buckley likes this'Pass the cow dung, my dropsy's killing me' - Heraclitus - Keith Sansum1

30 September 2023 21:41382737#11 & #12……I don’t think it cures RSI either!
Had my Winter covid booster and influenza jab today and was in and out of the surgery within 4 minutes.
I like to think it has kept me away from the illness up to now, as keeping fingers crossed, touch wood, doesn’t seem to have worked as well for both my children and grandchildren who have had Covid twice in the last 2 years, although their recent bout was not so bad as they had a jab last year.Do nothing and nothing happens. - Terry Nunn

30 September 2023 21:46382738Like Bob we had our jabs today. Similarly it was straight in and out. The uptake is obviously low, are people becoming complacent?

1 October 2023 11:55382743I also had my Covid jab yesterday, home visit by the lovely Sharon.
As an aside I mentioned about getting the latest flu jab, I was surprised she did not push for it as most medics tend to do so still up to me.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
