Apparently there have been some reports of shortages of flu jabs.
Thought you might find this response from Diabetes UK helpful:
Dan Howarth, Head of Care at Diabetes UK, said:“Flu can be incredibly serious, and people with diabetes are particularly vulnerable to serious complications if they get it. With the coronavirus pandemic still posing a very real threat, it’s incredibly important that people with diabetes stay well and stay out of hospital. That’s why this year, more than ever, it is so important that people with diabetes take up the offer of a free flu jab.
“We know all flu jab providers will be facing increased demand this year. But we want to reassure people that there are a number of options available to them to get their jab, that include their GP surgery or their local pharmacy. The jab can take up to two weeks to be effective, so we’re urging everyone with diabetes to get booked, and get vaccinated, as soon as possible.
“If anyone needs advice on how or where to get a flu jab, our helpline is available on 0345 123 2399, Monday – Friday from 9am – 6pm, or you can find more information on diabetes and flu at diabetes.org.uk.”
