jabberknitmas Dec 2020 11:59am, 2 Dec 2020 3,738 posts	0 jabberknitmas I got a text from my GP practice last week inviting me to book in for a flu jab. I rang them and was then on hold on the phone for almost 40 mins, 7th in the queue for what seemed like most of it. But I stuck with it, because a nice lady told me many, many times that my call was very important to them. Anyway, 10:30 this coming Saturday for me. OH is over 65, so he got invited and had his done several weeks ago, and got the longer-term pneumonia one too.

McGoohan Dec 2020 12:30pm, 2 Dec 2020 47,518 posts	0 McGoohan Liebling is being flu-stabbed on Saturday - she got invited due to her medical history. She also got another text inviting her due to her venerable age. I'd heard nowt so I phoned them - I think they have some out of date mobile details. They've got enough jabs for this Saturday, but are awaiting more for the following Sat so I have to ring back and enter the being held in a queue lottery.

McGoohan Dec 2020 12:37pm, 2 Dec 2020 47,519 posts	0 McGoohan My work ones aren't happening - they were supposed to be from Bupa - who then said at the last min that they didn't have any jabs as 'they'd all gone to the NHS'. Last year - I might have mentioned it on this thread - the Bupa nurse used up three jabs on me as she kept dropping them on the floor and had to get a new one out of her bag.

McGoohan Dec 2020 12:44pm, 2 Dec 2020 47,520 posts	0 McGoohan Yeah, after she'd gone 'oops, butterfingers' with two jabs I wasn't entirely sure she was going to find my arm with the third.
GregP Dec 2020 3:31pm, 2 Dec 2020 123,988 posts	0 GregP I'm back. Off all the needles I've had stuck in me over the years that was far and away the least noticable. The bloke seemed quite upset when I said "are you sure?" after he told me it was done.
