Radio just said that in theory you should take a LFT before attending the booster clinic.

Anyone see a problem with that?

That is being reported on the radio. Ours are hopefully arriving this morning. I’ve ordered for one person and we will be very very careful and only use them when absolutely necessary.n

Thanks, I'll try the local chemists.

I expect there's been a pre-Christmas rush on them but keep trying. As Casdon says, chemists etc. should still have some.

Collecting them from our nearest pharmacies and libraries? I picked up two boxes on Friday with no issue, they had loads.

I've just tried to send for a pack of LFTs via the government web site.

There are none available.

(I'd screenshot the page but I've never got the hang of screenshotting...)

Where does this leave us all?
