just wondered as my DH is in a risk group (asthma) and got a letter from GP a week or so ago telling him to come into a special flu surgery and gave details of all these special flu surgery times at the GP and his depended on his surname as to when he had to go. I've not had any such letter so wondering if they've missed me out (we have the same surname so theoretically should go to the same clinic if I'd been invited) but I'm not sure if it's something that's automatically offered or if you have to ask for it.

I work in a school so figure I'm fairly at risk should it do the rounds.

I don't think flu jabs are routinely offered to pregnant women...

I was pregnant this time last year, and was offered swine flu jab, but not normal flu.

I'd just call the surgery if you're concerned
