I really can't find out :(

My middle DS has had it due to asthma and I've had it (pg)

I want the others to have it as I'm worried, a woman down the road who we've known for years was fine 2 days ago, got a gold and cought then started with diorreah yesterday, her husband went to call NHS direct and when he went back up she had died! :(

its not confirmed SF but it sounds like it and i just want my other 2 kids vaccinated!

I dont think you can unless they are in one of the risk groups

you could google private clinics to see if they have any vaccines left.

Dont worry particularly regarding the vicinity of your neighbour - it does sound like SW - It is the dominant strain this year and most of the sick people Ive been dealing with have probably had SW (inc DD)
Your DCs have probably come into contact with it already at school/nursery and its height seems to have been over christmas.

A week or so ago they had vaccine left in the Halo Clinic in Chippenham. I don't know where you are, obviously, but it would be a short taxi ride from Chippenham station (Paddington line). Or the Fleet Street clinic also had them (www address on here somewhere).

You could try travel clinics as it is part of the normal flu vaccination this year.
