Covid Jabs

Received an email for Covid Jab with the option of choosing a drop in Centre near me, the options included Scarborough, Filey, Hartlepool, and Middlesbrough. Do these idiots get paid for such stupid settings ? None shown for Hebburn.

Perhaps they don't have a map?

Just had my Covid & Flu jags this morning, at a community centre about 5 miles from me.

Nae problem, as they say up here!

Made an appointment for the Covid 19 jab on the NHS App given a choice of six or seven locations one of which was the Kaiila Pharmacy in Hebburn Shopping Centre - a five minute walk for me, received the jab the following morning. Easy Peasy.

We’re you invited to make the appointment or did you just decide to do the appointment on line? We have been invited to make the appointment for our flu jabs but nothing for Covid yet.

I was invited via the NHS App for both jabs.

Kaila were offering walk ins on Monday. Worth a phone call.

The pharmacy I went to last year recommended having at least a week between Covid and flu jabs, not getting them at the same time, in case you had a reaction and didn't know which was to blame.

When did chemists get renamed to pharmacy?

Thanks Ray and Ged, we will leave it a few days then check on the NHS web site to see if we can book anything on line, if not I will give a call to the Drs surgery to ask. Like you we will have the jabs done on different days with maybe a week in between, we live in Herefordshire so maybe they haven’t sent out the invites yet, it can be a bit behind the times here at the moment everyone is busy harvesting the apples for cider making!!

So a big difference between England & Scotland. I had a letter, about a month ago, inviting me to get both Jags.
My wife came with me, as a "drop in". Both done, with both Jags.

Nae Problem!

Getting my flu jab tomorrow looking to sort out COVID and shingles jabs when I am there. However when my sister had her flu jab she was given a phone number for COVID and told she would have to wait to be contacted for shingles. Her husband has had a terrible time with shingles and because of his experience we want the jab. None stop adverts on tv telling us to get vaccinated for shingles but it’s not as easy as the tv makes out.
