Had a text about my 3rd jab. Text says its due 6months after 2nd jab. That makes mine due in a fortnight.
had flu jab at boots. Mrs's was cancelled due to lack of vaccine. She's 65 apparently its slightly different than 50-64 years olds. Anyway got a slot at her Gps in 2 weeks.

Yes it’s a different flu jab given to 65+ than to under 65s. I had my flu jab at boots this week too.
 
I had my Flu on Tuesday at my Dr's on Tuesday, the flu for over 65's and under 65's has been different for a few years now. I asked the nurse about Covid boosters, they do not know in my area yet other than they should contact me.
 
I got my booster just 2 days after 6 months from second one..unbelievable good service.
Flu jab booked for 15th at doctors
 
Must crack on with my flu jab!
 
I had my flu jab on 20th Sept ( under 65) and my Covid booster 25th Sept, just two days off six months from my second jab. Can’t fault our surgery at all.
 
My surgery says they have no information about the booster yet. So looks like no one has been offered it yet at my surgery. If it is 6 months from last one mine would be due mid Nov.
 
I went to the walk up flu jab clinic that our GP organised yesterday, and they sprung Covid boosters on anyone who was eligible. They hadn’t said anything beforehand. It was a bit of a hit and miss system, I thought, since some older people have already had their flu jabs at the local pharmacy. OH wasn't done, as it’s not 6 months yet, but he will be called by the surgery in due course.
They are only planning on doing the over 70s and shielders, though, and have told everyone else to book on the Govt website for one of the National centres, when they become eligible to do so. That means another long trip to the Kassam stadium in Oxford for me.
 
Mr Marten and I had our flu jabs yesterday at our surgery (no longer locked up like Fort Knox, just walk in as used to be normal...), and have our Covid boosters booked for Friday next week at another local health centre - we were contacted by text and given a choice of venue for the boosters.
