Apparently all pg women are being offered the flu jab as standard this year (which btw no mw/GP etc has actually told me or offered me). I ask my mw who I should contact to get it done (ie hospital/GP) and tells me it has to be done via GP. Ring GP to find out they've run out of flu jabs and I have to keep ringing back after christmas until they get some more in (they don't know when it will be though).
Hmm, surely they knew I was pg so a) should have offered it to me when they initially did the 'call up' for vulnerable people (DH has asthma and he got a letter months ago telling hime when to go for one) and b) should have an idea how many at risk people they have on their books to order sufficient stocks.
Apparemtly this is a problem in a number of GP surgeries in my area (and probably others too), and it's not like we can go out and pay for one either.
So just a warning if you want to get one but haven't got around to booking it - ring your GP ASAP before they run out!!
