Regarding carers getting flu jabs, it only applies to those recieving carers allowance, or caring for elderly or severely disabled.

But this depends on the surgery, i used to be a carer but was told the flu jabs only went to employed care workers or childminders, [strike]slaves[/strike] carers claiming c.a. werent entitled to them.

My local surgery said I could be put on the list as I am carer of someone with an Auto immune disease. And if they have enough then I can have one. And I don't get carers allowance.

Lets just hope I don't bring it home as his blood counts are all over the shop and it would put him hospital.

Better remind husband to book his.

My surgery has had the vaccine in for a week now and told us that we just have to turn up during one of their vaccination sessions, so hubby and I are going tonight. They give them out for free to everyone. Last year I got mine from Boots for £15 as my surgery did not have the vaccine in for ages. My company then reimbursed the £15.
