Our emails gave venue, date, time and also informed us that we would receive both flu and Covid vax at same appointment if we're eligible (We are)

I had a text from the NHS a fortnight ago to say I could now book my flu jab online. The Site doesn't know yet, though, and it isn't available to use.

We have been able to book our flu jabs for 23. Sept but not heard anything about the covid booster for which we are both eligible.
Hope we can have them together to avoid two visits to the surgery especially as covid cases are rising again.

Both of us have a flu vaccine booked for late September. Not heard of any Covid booster appointments in this area. We are both CEV

I was on NHS Inform yesterday and noted that appointments begin at the beginning of September. As someone, who is CEV, I'm relieved.
There is a timescale and a list of who is eligible for vaccination.
They seem to be getting it right at last.

My DD has already been offered her flu vaccination for the beginning September, because she is asthmatic.

We both received an email from local health board yesterday giving details of our vaccine appointments for end of September. Was a bit taken aback actually, not used to things medical actually working round here!

Anyone else got their appointment? We're in Scotland - wondered if there was a difference.
