2020 Flu Vaccination

Do go back to have the shingles jab, Pennines. It's only available to a narrow age range so don't miss it.

What is the age range please?

As far as I'm aware over 70 years

Thanks, possibly an even longer wait then.

Yes rosie's right - it's between 70 - day before 71 & 78 - day before 79. I've seen two close family members suffer with shingles & took the jab as soon as & was 70. Have persuaded needle phobic Mr Josey to have it as well as soon as he was 70.

A lot of people (including myself) with problems including weakened immune systems, aren't allowed to have the shingles jab.

My husband was advised to have another pneumo as a precaution as he has several health issues.
Our surgery was very well organised, temperature checked, hands sanitised, in one door straight out of another. Excellent.

OH has just got LETTER on PAPER re. getting his annual 'Flu shot, from his GP. Problem is: don't seem to be able to contact them! No non-recorded responses. Baffled.

Have you had a look at their website TY? Maybe there'll be some information on there about arrangements.
