Covid/flu jabs

Yes, I've had an invitation for a flu jab too. I also thought it was rather early to be having one.
I haven't replied yet, I have 7 days in which to let them know.

I have been invited for a flu jab, the date I have been given is in October.

Having my flu jab mid September at Boots.

No news yet on Covid boosters, but will have one asap.

While I was at the surgery in July the nurse asked if I'd like to book my flu jab while I was there. I said yes, but could I book my husband's and brother in law's as well as I drive them to all their appointments. She booked them all for the same day and time, at the end of September. Last year I booked them online individually I think when prompted texts.

Just had a look. I can book an appointment for all dates from now through to the first Tuesday in October. Our health centre is closed utill Tuesday due to the Bank Holiday. I will ring them then and book it.

Booked this week for mid October.

Not heard anything about it.

We’re both booked in for October 3rd, although the invite went out recently the earliest dates were mid September.

I found this info for Scotland - they'll be getting underway in September.

We got the invite for flu jabs a week ago, booked for Sept 23rd which did seem a bit early,surgery uses local school hall so no choice of dates.
No news on covid jabs yet so doesn’t look like they’ll be given together like last year.

We've booked the flu jab online at a local pharmacy for the end of September. Nothing yet re Covid booster.

It suits me to have it earlier as I don't mix so much in the winter so it is less likely that I shall catch it

Well they ran out of flu jabs for a while last year (or was it the year before?) so I've booked mine.
We had flu jab in one arm and covid in the other last time and I don't know why they haven't done the same this year - it would save valuable surgery time, and mine!

Had mine too, but I also think that it's a bit early. I'm thinking more like the end of October.

I'm booked in for both in September. No problem finding an appointment time to suit.

I’m booked in for a flu jab at Boots in a couple of weeks time but they have heard nothing from the government regarding covid jabs. Given that I can’t easily get to speak to someone at my surgery I haven’t got a clue about what’s happening. It’s as if they want everyone to forget that covid is still with us.

Oh, our surgery website now says we no longer do covid vaccinations please phone 119..

They certainly don't want us to forget Covid they have even brought the vacination programme forward for eligible groups. All information on NHS website

We’ve had emails. I will be having flu jab only.

I booked ours through the the NHS app with our surgery, flu and Covid.

I phoned 119 and it says bookings can’t be made till 18th September.

The flu jab is supposed to give immunity for all of the current season. They’re early this year because it is expected that the flu season will start early.
No guidance has been given yet about Covid so it’s not possible to give those at the same time as flu jabs. The usual shambles.

Mine are done at home so it will probably be a bit later in the year.

Booked for early October. Just about the right time I think.
