So long as no fever, you can have your vaccination today.

miraloma · 10/10/2020 11:14

You've got a temp, a cough and can't taste?

Is this a wind up? Why would you even think of attending a clinic where lots of vulnerable people will also be going?

Can you pass your appointment to someone else?

Interested in this thread?

I m so sorry. I actually read your thread!

If you have asthma then it would help to get this done, I hope you feel better soon

The OP says she doesn't have those symptoms.

OP, Google says you can but just ask when you get there.

Wanderer1 · 10/10/2020 11:15

Oh sorry, you've corrected yourself! I do that too! Saturday brain 🤣

Not very helpful but I can ask why you call it 'flu jag' and not jab? Maybe a typo but it's three times so had to ask. Have I been saying it wrong all these years?

Jag is Scottish

Yeah it's irritating but it's the Scottish way I think. I always picture a hooked needle because it doesn't make any sense.

Still we all use words that are irritating to others Grin

MiniMum97 · 10/10/2020 19:20

Really? Why is it called a jag in Scotland?

Obviously jab comes from being jabbed....how does jag fit in?
