My Mum is in the early stages of Alzheimer's and refuses to go to appointments with me.

Her GP surgery have said they will be in touch about COVID boosters and flu jabs being given in her home.

Has anyone else managed to get these jabs for a parent at home? I'm getting a bit worried that she will need them soon.

When vaccines were first rolled out I was told that the district nurse would be able to do mum's because she was clinically vulnerable (I hadn't recognised the dementia at that point) but when it came to it the surgery said she had to go in. It might vary from surgery to surgery though.
