"Anyone tried to get normal flu jab recently ? My doctor and all the local pharmacies seem to have run out of vaccine. Lack of forward planning here it seems. Just when they are telling everyone to get one." Apparently anyone who isnt in the at risk group, has to wait til the end of November. Because they havent got enough Cos like, no one knew winter was coming and we were in the middle of the worst health crisis for hundreds of years | |||

"Anyone tried to get normal flu jab recently ? My doctor and all the local pharmacies seem to have run out of vaccine. Lack of forward planning here it seems. Just when they are telling everyone to get one." Flu jabs are ordered 12 months in advance, so that was done before this pandemic. Hence there will be an initial shortage with more people wanting them | |||

Did he fib, do you think? | |||

"I couldn't get one off my GP last year they said I wasn't entitled as my daughter's carer. The chemist next door offered me one and said I am entitled. My daughter who has learning disabilities has got a text to offer her one this year. She is not in a risk category for Covid though.But I have not been offered one . I was planning on going to the chemist again but probably won't bother if there's a shortage. X" I don’t know your exact circumstances or wish to pry so here is the information regarding flu vaccinations. I hope it helps going forward. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/flu-influenza-vaccine/ | |||

"I get one due to one of my partners being immunocompromised. " One of your partners ? Doesn't the fact that you are with other partners jeopardise their compromised immune system ? | |||

"Got one a few weeks ago from the independent chemist I've gone to the last couple of years. I get one due to one of my partners being immunocompromised. Otherwise I wouldn't qualify on the NHS.. Too bloody healthy." The flu jab doesnt in any way help your partner though ? You can still catch it and spread it .... | |||

Why are the NHS staff, carers, education staff and partners of highly vulnerable people etc being asked to have the vaccine ? | |||

"My mum has had hers. My children have to wait until they are offered them in School." Our school ones are not till November, but they are the nasal ones already prebooked for children only, the GP's are telling all of the parents at school to have it in school not at the docs to free up appts | |||

"I haven't been able to get mine through the GP either. When I find they told me it was because people that didn't need it have been buying it through the pharmacies America now a national shortage even though I've had won every year for the last 8 years. I tried to book one of the pharmacy 4 weeks ago and was told because I am entitled to a free 1 I should wait until I was called by my surgery so the selfish people who don't normally have 1 but have decided to have won this year just in case are to blame." The few typos in there not sure where America came from. | |||

We have all tried to purchase more and have been told that NHSE have been stockpiling, so we aren't allowed anymore, it is just as frustrating for the staff to have to try and explain why not everyone can have one atm when we are just as in the dark as patients... | |||

I really don't think they should have been allowed to sell them in the pharmacies until it was certain there was enough for vulnerable people under 65 to have one at there surgeries. | |||

One for the over 65's which there isn't a shortage of and those under 65 which there is a national shortage of. | |||

"Superdrug dependent on the store location I’ve seen. Local surgery doesn’t seem to have a shortage either. "And how do you know this because you said on another thread a couple of weeks ago how you never had one before but you'd booked in to have 1 just in case. There is a national shortage in the ones for the under 65's. You and someone else shouted me down when I said that wasn't going to be enough for those that need them well I do need one I can't have 1 because people have been selfish and put themselves 1st as usual. You should check again if you are under 65 I bet you can't book in for one or if you can it won't be till the end of November. | |||

The shortages seem to be very regional/area dependent. | |||

I agree with you entirely. Pharmacies usually get priority delivery because they place larger orders than surgeries can as we have to order based on the over 65 and unders at risk only...been a bone of contention for the last few years | |||

A friend of mine had her booking moved to the 19th of October. She spoke to the Boots Store to ask them why she had been moved and they said it was simply that demand had depleted their stock. They said that they should come back on stream again on the 19th October. If you go to Boots. Lloyds etc et-al. All have a 'Notify me' of availability by email page. Get a notification with as many as you can and accept the first one available.
As usual you haven't checked your facts. I couldn't get one at my surgery until the end of November because they have run out for the under 65 I called boots who told me they have also run out until at least the end of October.
I told them I was in the vulnerable group and entitle to a free one so are they saving any for that group and may said it is not the company policy it is 1st come first serve so please check your facts before you put this stuff out there.
Jeesus. It's nothing to DO with FACTS. Boots HAVE prioritized FLU injections for vulnerable people. I said when you can get one get one.
No they haven't.
They have prioritized the appointments for the over 65's.
Jesus Christ I SAID THAT VULNERABLE PEOPLE!!!!!"You don't listen or read. Where is totally different vaccine for the over 65's it is a completely different strain that is covered. The one for the under 65 that are vulnerable is not available because healthy people have rushed out to get it. No pharmacy has prioritised the vaccine in the under 65 because they are meant to have it done at their surgery but because the pharmacies bought so many there isn't enough at the doctor's surgeries and now the appointments at the pharmacies have run out so like I said you've got your facts wrong again. | |||

"Superdrug dependent on the store location I’ve seen. Local surgery doesn’t seem to have a shortage either.
And how do you know this because you said on another thread a couple of weeks ago how you never had one before but you'd booked in to have 1 just in case. There is a national shortage in the ones for the under 65's.
You and someone else shouted me down when I said that wasn't going to be enough for those that need them well I do need one I can't have 1 because people have been selfish and put themselves 1st as usual. You should check again if you are under 65 I bet you can't book in for one or if you can it won't be till the end of November.
How did I shout you down? We spoke about my dad not being able to have one?
I said I had booked one with Lloyd’s.
Been to the asthma clinic and they told me as they wanted to know if I had one. Hope that’s enough info for you
You clearly posted That you would never had one before but you thought you would this year. When Clem said you all seem to be rushing out to get them before the The vunerable You kept saying that there was plenty there would be no shortage, that you weren't entitled to a free one so you paid for one.
When someone asked you why you were having one If you want vulnerable and you said with a laughing emoji well they took my money.
Not strictly accurate there are we. Perhaps go back and read again. (Can’t believe you actually went back and read the thread )
It was the first time I considered it. Didn’t know I had to give you a detailed history of my health.
Been offered it twice free now just my luck.
Been offered two free ones
I didn't i have an identical memory. You did say because the pharmacy took your money.
Its there for everyone who wants to to see.
Well you don't have an 'identical' memory because you would have remembered that it's spelt 'eidetic'.
How dare you so because yet again you have been caught out giving wrong information you decide to take the piss out of me." | |||

I interacted with Clem the way he interacts with people.
OK but we all know that your not telling the truth. "What because I didn’t offer up my full medial history. This seems to be a bigger deal for you than me. Now I know I am classified as vulnerable I will probably get one next year as well if that’s ok? Just won’t pay for it. I don’t begrudge others having it though from a vulnerable persons perspective. | |||

OK I will say this one more time they have not been prioritising for vulnerable people under 65 there are 2 types of vaccine 1 for the over 65's which there is no shortage of and 1 for the under 65 which is a shortage of because too many people who don't need 1 have been booking them through pharmacies. | |||

"Superdrug dependent on the store location I’ve seen. Local surgery doesn’t seem to have a shortage either.
And how do you know this because you said on another thread a couple of weeks ago how you never had one before but you'd booked in to have 1 just in case. There is a national shortage in the ones for the under 65's.
You and someone else shouted me down when I said that wasn't going to be enough for those that need them well I do need one I can't have 1 because people have been selfish and put themselves 1st as usual. You should check again if you are under 65 I bet you can't book in for one or if you can it won't be till the end of November.
How did I shout you down? We spoke about my dad not being able to have one?
I said I had booked one with Lloyd’s.
Been to the asthma clinic and they told me as they wanted to know if I had one. Hope that’s enough info for you
You clearly posted That you would never had one before but you thought you would this year. When Clem said you all seem to be rushing out to get them before the The vunerable You kept saying that there was plenty there would be no shortage, that you weren't entitled to a free one so you paid for one.
When someone asked you why you were having one If you want vulnerable and you said with a laughing emoji well they took my money.
Not strictly accurate there are we. Perhaps go back and read again. (Can’t believe you actually went back and read the thread )
It was the first time I considered it. Didn’t know I had to give you a detailed history of my health.
Been offered it twice free now just my luck.
Been offered two free ones
I didn't i have an identical memory. You did say because the pharmacy took your money.
Its there for everyone who wants to to see.
Well your memory isn’t accurate. I paid for a flu jab when I get one free so sue me.
I interacted with Clem the way he interacts with people. "Why did you pay for it when you can get it free ? | |||

Why did you pay for it when you can get it free ?"I didn’t really know much about it until Covid came along. Didn’t start considering my mortality till I passed 40 so it all made me think. Arranged one with the pharmacy paid for it online and simply didn’t realise I was in a vulnerable group. Also my work came out a week later and said they would also pay for every employee to have one as well. So could have got it twice for free. You live and learn. | |||

OK but we all know that your not telling the truth.
What because I didn’t offer up my full medial history. This seems to be a bigger deal for you than me.
Now I know I am classified as vulnerable I will probably get one next year as well if that’s ok? Just won’t pay for it.
I don’t begrudge others having it though from a vulnerable persons perspective.
That is because you got yours those of us that were told that because we are vulnerable we should not go to the pharmacy to have one and have one at the doctors now can't get one for ages so yes I do begrudge perfectly healthy people getting one."Im vulnerable too but i usually get mine done for free at Boots, iv never been told i have to just go to my GP for it. | |||

"I'm not sure what annoyed/upset you about my comment suggesting that next year you get your flu jab for free at a pharmacy, you are vulnerable so you are entitled to it ? I have done that for many years, mainly because in past years my GP only had flu vaccine clinics during my working day and i would have to book a days annual leave to get it, hence i booked to have one at Boots or Superdrug who do them at the weekend which suits me better ! I have never been told that because I'm vulnerable i have to get it done at my GP surgery, they are fine about me choosing to get it done elsewhere !! | |||

"I had mine. I'm not vulnerable (runs for cover) but I'm entitled to the free one at my Dr's cos of my job. I have paid in the past for it. But this year, I decided to go to my drs for my free one. I've worked all through covid (we aren't actually allowed to take holiday and haven't been since it started). I don't work for the NHS but I do work for a company that are helping by caring for ppl recovering from covid, in there homes, to free up hospital space. I think I deserve my free jab You shouldn't feel that you have to justify getting a flu jab. No one should. If anyone wants one, they should go ahead and get one. I started writing a post but swiftly changed my mind thinking exactly that! Nobody has said anybody that is entitled to a free flu jab shouldn't have one. The problem is those that need it can't get one why can't people understand this." Im highly vulnerable, i had the shielding letter. I'm booked to have my flu vaccine done at Boots next week, i rang them to check thats still available and they said it is. | |||

"Anyone tried to get normal flu jab recently ? My doctor and all the local pharmacies seem to have run out of vaccine. Lack of forward planning here it seems. Just when they are telling everyone to get one." You can’t have looked that hard, due to work commitments I had to cancel the doctors appointment I had, they directed my to three pharmacies all in South Liverpool who had appointments within three days | |||

"To be fair I’ve heard a lot of people saying ‘I haven’t had one for years but thought I better cos of this COVID’ Makes sense they would run short, really. " The irony is that these are probably the very same people that have been saying covid and flu are two different things! | |||

"Have mine booked at my GP for 7th November. Seemingly I am also entitled to a Pneumonia vaccine which I will have at the same time as my flu jab." Yes I've been having the pneumonia one last few years x | |||

"Trouble is they are a bit of a waste of time. People still get the flu even after the flu jab. There are so many different strains of the flu. The jab only captors for some of them. Pretty pointless if you ask me. I am in the vulnerable group and until recently had one every year and still got the flu. Lucky my immune system. Is quite strong etc. " Theyre not at all pointless. I've been having flu jabs for years and have never had flu. I doubt you had flu just another virus | |||

What I don't understand is why you keep saying people are selfish for paying for a vaccine if they're not entitled. I've had mine and should I be unfortunate enough to catch flu I will no longer pass to on to anyone else, vunerable or not. | |||
