Where to get a flu jab?

milkydrink

My hubby is self employed & last year got the flu jab from boots, but I can't find anything on their website about it yet this year.

Apart from free ones at doctors, does anyone know where they are doing the £15 (ish) ones you pay for?
I know supermarkets have done them in the past. But not lately AFAIK.

I may get one too, worth it not to get flu I think:beer:

I know there is a thread on the flu jab, but thats about the rights & wrongs of paying for it. I'm not disputing paying for it, just wondering where I can get it done.

Have you asked at your local surgery? Even if you're not entitled to a free jab, they may be willing to do it for the cost of a prescription - very moneysaving!

Hello kimevans

That's good advice from Savvy_Sue. I'm pretty sure that the flu jabs were available in November 2006 (so you're a bit early yet;) ) and certain that they cost £12.

My GP surgery told me last year that if I was prepared to wait until they'd given the flu jab to the elderly patients, if they had any vaccines left over we could have one free.:cool:

I didn't want to risk the wait and find that they'd all gone................and also miss my chance of the Asda flu jabs all going too. I remember last year that the Morrisons flu jabs went like hot cakes.;)

In Superdrug at the moment flu jabs for £9.95!


Hope that helps.

Think I've seen a Morrisons leaflet offering this year as well.

Edit: Just been to Morrisons and they are doing them, looks like only available on set days over next few weeks

I get them for free from my work each year. I never bother though, just makes you feel rubbish for a few days !

I had mine done by Boots last year as my GP did not get the vaccine in for ages. But he has had it for a week now so hubby and I are going tonight. Our practice gives it out for free to everyone. Even if not - my office reimbursed me the £15 last year!

My local Boot's isn't doing it nor is any other pharmancy in my area or my doctors or any local supermarket :mad: and I live in nottinghamshire not as it's the country side!

Work not doing it either!

I had a flu jab at Superdrug last week. I didn't need to make an appointment, I just had it done there and then.:cool:

The cost was £9.95 and unlike some people who feel rubbish afterwards or get cold/flu symptoms.............I was absolutely fine, not even an aching arm.:cool:

I am not entitled to a free jab so I had it done at my local Boots yesterday,it was £12.99,plus 150 extra Advantage points with a coupon in the Boots magazine.It is the first time I have had a flu jab,but no side effects so far and no sore arm either.
