Can I check: are you in the priority group for flu jabs?
Because GPs (in England, I don't know about the other nations) should have enough stock. They are prioritising higher need first, and then the expanded programme later in the year, and then anyone else who wants one after that.
If you're not priority need you can try a pharmacist.
- nickcotter 6y agoAccording to my GP they had a batch for the over 65s but they ran out pretty quickly. I usually get free flu jabs due to asthma but although it's strongly recommended I'm not aware of it being a definite priority group.
- gnfargbl 6y agoSuggest trying again with your GP. I'm also in a lower-priority group and didn't get the jab during the first round, but my local surgery contacted me later when stocks had been replenished. Aside: It was, for the NHS, an exceptionally efficient process. I was given an exact time slot and was in and out in less than three minutes.
- nickcotter 6y agoPharmacists don't have them available. Boots for example are "working hard to acquire additional stock" but have suspended their service.
