Flu jab letter, not vunerable

5 replies

Has anyone else had a letter for a flu jab but unsure why?

I'm 36, not pregnant etc. I had lyme disease 2 years ago but test negative now.

Any ideas? Do I just ask my gp?

Do you or have you worked in a care setting or hospital? Or any other essential front line job? Do you have a family member that you live with who is vulnerable or was shielding?

No to all of those. I have 3 children but none of them are vunerable.

I've already booked one with Lloyd's pharmacy!

I’d call the GP then as it could be an error.

I had one. I have OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) only reason I can see?
ExH has one - asthma
Ds and Dd have been offered one and all they 'have' is autism ?!

GP said more are being offered more widely as they are so worried about people catching flu and C-19 simultaneously

Maybe it is lyme related as it compromises your immune system.

I'll message them and see what they say.
