Hello,

I have 3 young children (2,5 and 7 age) and the GP won't let them have the flu jub because not NHS qualifying (ie. not in "high risk" groups per Government rules) and also won't do it if I pay them privately. I've asked them where I could get it done elsewhere locally but they gave no suggestions. When I've asked at some supermarkets they have said won't give to children. Does anyone have any knowledge to offer.

I've previously read the Government were going to introduce annual flu jabs for children like is done in other Countries, but I doubt this is likely for many years yet.

nb. We live in Lincoln, Lincolnshire

The flu jab for this winter has been combined with the SWINE FLU jab.

I got the flu jab for free earlier this year as i test them for a medical research company just to see the side effects, i have to say i always get the side effects which are very flu like for up to 2 days afterwards. And to top this off i have had a flu and a viral infection this year.
