Hi,
I normally qualify for the annual flu vaccination via my doctors surgery, they have in fact sent me a text requesting that I make the relevant appointment. However, due to local lockdown and Covid restrictions I am not at home and therefore unable to get the jab there.
I am trying to source a walk in flu vaccination and have indeed found one at a pharmacy, however I have just been told that as I am under 65 I do not qualify. I mentioned that I have Type 1 Diabetes and again, after the lady on the phone checked twice with the pharmacist, was told It doesn’t work like that, no jab for me. Is this correct?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
