Dear fellow MNers, there seems to be no point stressing about whether to have the vaccine or not

[Georgimama]

because no one has got any. Our GP surgery doesn't have any and won't for 3 weeks. The vaccination clinics at local pharmacies are apparently not allowed to give it to pregnant women. The only way to get it is apparently to make an appointment with my GP (earliest available one week) get a prescription, go to pharmacy, collect vaccine, get another appointment with GP and get him to administer it.

There aren't enough s in the world to explain how fucking stupid that sounds. What a bloody waste of money.

The surgery I work at in Hampshire still has loads of vaccines left. Don't listen to the DM.

However, we lost the fourth unborn child to flu/swine flu in 3 weeks on Thursday (at 39 weeks gestation). If you're pregnant, get yourself to the surgery for a vaccine asap. We are ringing all pregnant ladies to offer a vaccine now.
