Padders Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Never had one.... I've had the flu twice, 3days in bed thought I was dying, and to be honest I wasn't at all bothered about dying.. My fear of needles prevents me from having the jab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaffa1 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 There seems to be a long waiting list though, over a month at our surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkleyIan Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Mines done. 10 minute wait at the pharmacy on Greenhow St in Walkley, no appointment. I'm on the free list (chronic lung condition) but they were doing paid for ones as well as they had plenty of stock . They go through the form first to see if there anyway they can do you for free before they offer the £11.50 option . It may be better to try a pharmacy first than get an appointment at the GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the one that they shootup your nose, it works just as good. I had it once when theyran out of the jab versions.

Plus anyone who is afraid of needles.However, I just read that there is a world shortage and Canada is not ordering them this year. Another thing I just read was that you have to be under 50, so that rules out Padders anyway. I shall have to have a word with my doctor, as he gave one to me about 4 years ago because he had run out of the needle ones, and I was over 70 at the time.
