Do you have to wait a bit before you can get the flu jab?
How did your flu jab go? (If you've had one)48 hours since my Pfizer booster, and like my 2 AZ jabs, no side effects whatsoever, not even a sore arm.

How did your flu jab go? (If you've had one)
Yep my 2 az jabs and my flu jab were both fine with no side effects for me. My booster isn't until jan5th.Likewise, no reaction.
Same as the vast majority from both the flu & covid jabs.
No, plenty of people are getting them at the same time, in different arms.
If you are a few months from 50 they will give you a free nhs flu jab (im 49 but got one).I was asked if I wanted a flu jab when I went for the booster. I said yes and then they asked if I was over 50. Hmm
If you are a few months from 50 they will give you a free nhs flu jab (im 49 but got one).
Otherwise i think you have to pay for the flu one unless you have certain medical conditions.
Why its not the same as covid i don't know.

So...
It was originally 6 months between 2nd dose and booster. That was then dropped to 5 months.
Now the government are saying 3 months but it seems the NHS and vaccination centres are still working on 5 months (unless vulnerable).
Had a chap come up today who is due his booster (after 5 months) but Boots and all the local places can't fit him in till second week in January.
Fuck knows...

Hope that they can find enough sites.
The "hub" inn the local market town is not going to be large enough for a mass rollout.
Although they're working very quickly with the people & space that they have.

Q for you - any idea how boosters for the currently housebound are dealt with ?
Someone I know broke both wrists a few weeks ago, and were recently discharged back home [from a care facility] and they are still getting carers visiting. They are retired, don't drive and can't walk far atm.
Thanks. I'll suggest they tackle their GP.Their GP should be dealing with them. Whether they are will a bit depend on the GP and how busy they are, and possibly a little bit depending on how vulnerable the patient is. If they're housebound for a bit they could just wait and get it when they're able to get out again.
