Good work by your surgery Island. Ours was only for over 65s there will be another clinic soon for others.

You're lucky you don't fit with other 'at risk' criteria Sheila :-) it's not just an age thing.

I had a call from the surgery around 10 this morning, would I like it and when would I like to go in? I'll be there in an hour. Brilliant service. Autoimmune.

Don't have one - not old enough :-)

having mine done this Friday ,along with my diabetes check up ,iris :-D

Will arrange to have mine done at GP surgery in about a month. Can then book my annual check up and blood test.
That should be me sorted for a twelve month (fingers crossed).

Luckily I am not afraid of needles. Just can't see well enough to thread any.

I’m waiting till the knee is done on the 9th Oct

Doc has put me on the list for the nurse to come out to do it as I wont be able to drive for six weeks so can’t get to the surgery

Had ours, There was a long queue when we arrived at our given time but I think a lot of people had to gear their visit to the times of the buses as there was a sudden influx of people. It was really well managed though by the nurses giving the injections and the ones marshalling people. Very impressive.

At least you can look away if your imagination is in overdrive Dermot!

Joined the twenty-two pensioners queueing up in the surgery waiting room this morning & hardly a word was spoken.

Eerie! :-\

Had a text from my doctors my is on the 26th Oct

The word thousands gave it away Pat :-D :-D :-D :-D

I haven't had that many Emma - I said dealt with - 5 yrs dental nurse :-D :-D :-D :-D

But I'll still high 5 you ;-)

High five Pat :-D :-D

Needles do not both me either dealt with thousands of them :-D :-D :-D

Same times for us Ann.

No problem there for me Dermot, needles do not
bother me probably because I've had so many over the years.

Ours is tomorrow at the surgery, we get times according to initials of surnames but can go other times if it suits as better. Ours is between 11.30 and 12.30.

Respectful concern for those unfortunates who dislike needles with great intensity.

We are like you and your OH, Belle. OH gets a call early for his jab.

I have only ever had two, the first in a December several years ago when they gave me an Aussie jab that our local (English) surgery had just got in - OH and earlier recipients were given a different jab.

I was well all through that winter so went back for the following year's jab and had a permanent cold throughout that winter - so I have never been back for any more.

Pat these tourists get everywhere :-D

OH had his done last Wednesday :-)

I have to phone make an appt for my one :-( :-D
