😁 I am more like my old self as well Brian👍 Our new next door neighbour is a nurse, she has just said if your cold has been a bad one, that’s your immune system sorting things out and a good sign👍 Glad you are getting better.😁

We have had numerous texts and even a phone call from our home surgery reminding us to get our flu jabs, and the latest said that they were having a walk-in session on Friday and no need to book. We are away and have booked to have them done straight after our booster jabs, at a local clinic, this coming Thursday.

TtDA,

    Brian has not had a sneeze or a sniffle since my earlier post  but still going to be vairry careful over next couple of days ~~ cannot afford anything approaching a relapse 'cos my local shop is much dearer than that pair of Yankee supermarkets** we have in Crewe !!

And on that thought I shall retire to bed with my wallet & cards tucked safely in my pillow-case  

Stay Safe, Stay Cheerful  

 

**Morrisons and ASDA of course

I had my flu jab last Monday at.... Sainsbury's!!!  😀😀.  I had an email or letter from Lloyd's inviting me to book.  The Lloyd's in Sainsbury's was the earliest appointment I could get. 

Our local GP's were brilliant in rolling out the Covid jabs, but they always seem to lag behind with the flu jabs, so I went with Lloyd's at Sainsbury's this time.

 Thanks for the replies. Just hoping they do have the vaccine available in three weeks. I'm also hoping I have an easier time when it comes to getting my booster. It took me ages to find a centre near enough to attend. Devon, Yorkshire and Shropshire were the ones offered to me for the first vaccination, not ideal when I live in Northumberland.

Getting a bit annoyed now, all over the news that we should get a flu jab. Phoned Drs, reply, ‘ nothing organised yet, we are still thinking about it’. Tried Boots chemist, told, ‘ we can’t get it at present, not making any appointments until later in the month and then no appointments available until November. Seems no use trying other Boots as he said they are all the same locally. Why all over the news when not available.

Last year we received a text towards the end of September, from our Health centre, asking us to phone and make a booking. Having not received anything this year I was about to phone to chase it up, when in comes a text. No vaccine available until 11th October, don’t ring us we will contact you by text when it’s your turn.

Ours were done on Sept 11th, seems like a big gap in various parts of the country. We could have had them even earlier as our pharmacy was offering walk in sessions but we had already booked at the surgery.

Ours booked for 15/10 at local leisure centre. Looks like amass do.
