Hi Twinnie,

I went online to sort out a repeat script, and there was a scrolling message at the top of the screen saying book from 26th Sept, don't wait for your letter! Although I probably will!

Cheers

Rossi

hi there lucy to my knowledge all diabetics are offered the flu injection by there gps i might be wrong you would normally get a letter from the gps inviting you to go and have it done some gps are quicker than others 🙂

Thanks all, well still learning something new each day.
Should I wait to see if hear anything? I bet I don't!

Mine's booked for Wednesday, the day before I go on holiday which may not have been a good move...

I've had my letter, just a question of when I make the effort to book 🙂

No letter here yet...I asked about it in the surgery the other day, and was told that they had some in, but were writing to people in order by qualification (all OAPs, then all diabetics, asthmatics, etc etc). Strange!

Normally they just have an open surgery on a Saturday morning to turn up and get it. Fun fun fun, I react to one of the preservatives and my arm swells up for a week 😱

No word up here yet usually about October November time we get the letter.
