Injections - anybody??

[munchkins 0]

Ok we have had our Tetanus injection, which is the Tetanus, Diptheria and Polio combined. For our ages it also says the flu jab, but I thought that the flu one would only be available in the winter months over here, any one shed any light on this.

I would prefer to get the flu one done via my doctor (doesn't cost ) than wait till we go to Knightsbridge

My GP has a notice up still saying its available - your local health authority should be able to confirm tho if your GP cannot.

Give em a call! lol

Munchkins, In January I went to my GP and had all my jabs done for free - MMR, TD and flu. It was only a few weeks later after further reading on VJ that I realised that I didn't need the flu jab, as it's only required for people who are 50+.

I blame the Vaccination Chart on the US embassy's website as I don't think it's very clear.

That's why I want to phone the Knightsbridge doctors, to make sure about the flu one because we are both over 50. My doctors have told us that they will have no problem getting the vaccine for us should we require it but seeing as how I am the biggest coward when it comes to injections I would rather do without it

Just need the phone number if anyone can supply it???

That was great Jaylen, thanks a lot, just phoned them and all we need is the Tetanus one, which we have now had, and don't I darn well know it, my arm is as sore as hell

I read something stating that you only had to have the flu shot during flu season. I will see if I can find it and post the link.
