I asked at gp surgery other day,as last yr we had it too late i felt( my youngest son gets flu almost every yr as his immunity isnt very good,then it wipes him out,medically speaking, for awhile)He's just started college( age 16) so i wanted him to be immunised early. Our surgery said october at least and i cant just ask at chemist as he has a disability and a few other medical conditions as well! I thought its supposed to be to protect the vulnerable? I asked at chemist but she said 'they havent had their criteria through yet' for whose allowed it& who isnt.Its ridiculous.my elder son has flu jab every yr too as he has same disability.and hes starting university later in month,so again i thought it best he has it early.but apparently we cant get it yet in northwest! I have it too as their carer,so if i get flu whose going to help out? Not the chemist nor gp's receptionist ill bet!
