I've also been invited for other jabs. Shingles and one for pneumococcal vaccine..........all refused. Thanks but no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Spurred on by comments on here I just tried to book mine. Reception did not know you could have both together but in any case they have no approval for covid boosters yet. Just booked flu for next week and hope they have it sorted by then.

derbyduck Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 I had my jab today ,but what I carn't understand is there was two ques one for under 65s and another for 65s and over ! maybe I am being a cynic or could there be a genuine reason ,thinking about it when I had been done a young lady in the corridor asked if I was on my way out ? I replied yes but I hope I have a few more years yet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 The over 65s have a different vaccine - supposedly has extra ingredient to assist as older people make antibodies less well. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-flu-vaccine-available-this-winter-for-those-aged-65-and-over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharmacist phoned me Monday and said sorry we have given you the wrong vaccine. We gave you the over 65 one and I'm 64. Can't see a big problem as the palpitations stopped a few days later 😕🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
