UK Flu Jab
Show your support
I’ve had a text to say I’m eligible for a Covid jab because of a previous asthma spell so may just call the docs and push my luck 😂 thank you! I’m not sure I would cope with flu and feeding, current cold is draining me!
@Jenni I think you should be eligible for the flu jab as well then! Totally get you. I had to feed through us both having Covid and I actually thought I was dying at one point.
If your not eligible you can usually pay to have it at a pharmacy. Sometimes a bit later than those who are eligible but used to be around £15
@Jenni if you are asthmatic you can get a free NHS flu jab at your local pharmacy:) If youre not eligible, I believe it’s about £18 this year for a private jab. x
@Cerys I wouldn’t really say I’m asthmatic to be honest, after Covid I had a cough that stuck around d and got given an inhaler as a one-off but I think it’s on my record as high risk. I’ll call the docs to check as don’t want to be cheeky and will pay for one otherwise!
I don’t think breastfeeding makes you eligible for it but you can have it whilst breastfeeding if you’re eligible for another reason. I think, but not 100%. I’ve had one and am breastfeeding but was eligible as I have asthma.
