Unable to get flu’ vaccination

Has anyone else not been able to get a flu’ vaccination. Both Gp and local pharmacies have none and are waiting for supplies. I ended up in resus in A&E last time I got a mild dose of flu’ after having my vaccination. Am getting stressed at not being able to get it. I am usually first in line and have never been this late having it. Flu’ is recognised as a major trigger for my asthma.

Give your GP practice a phone call and ask them where they are with this.

Couldn’t get through and when I finally did was told unable to help and I would get a text or letter to call me in. Have finally managed to get my flu’ vaccine in my local pharmacy.
