I have 3 children, my 7 yr old son has confirmed asthma and was vaccinated when he came into contact with the flu a couple of months ago, however, my daughter is not quite 2 but has never had a cold without getting a chest infection, has been hospitalised twice with chest problems and had pneumonia - and yes you've guessed it...is not on their 'at risk' list!!!!<br />I've said I'll pay for this jab for her but have been given nothing from my GP Surgery other than 'you'll have to shop around at some local pharmacies'!.<br />What sort of message are they trying to send?!?!Steph in wymondhamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-64292358297055355772011-01-03T20:01:24.225+00:002011-01-03T20:01:24.225+00:00All very good points well made.All very good points well made.Nich Starlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237390959601973501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-27352930625598177792011-01-03T19:26:21.133+00:002011-01-03T19:26:21.133+00:00Hi

The last Government bought 100m doses of the swin flu jab and only a small percentage was used...why? Because of the way the GPs moved slowly and principally only did what they were going to get really well paid for and sorry, damn the rest of the public!<br /><br />Spanish flu in 1918 was mild for the 1st year and then came back with a vengeance a year later. Do we learn nothing?<br /><br /> We have already millions of doses of the flu vaccine in stock but inertia is preventing the whole population being done.<br />We now live in France and everyone was offered it last year ...pity the UK is so far behind...is that why the infection rates are so much higher in the UK than Europe?<br />GP's need to get their arses in gear and press the government to start vaccinating everyone. If the NHS resources were put into action for a mass vaccination programme it could happen quickly... and think... of all those intensive care beds that would be available not to say how many lives would be saved.<br /><br />Its not a question of the lack of an advertising schedule more the will to get everyone vaccinated with vaccines that are in stock and paid for!<br /><br />Trevor StablesTrevor stableshttp://www.farrlacey.eunoreply@blogger.com
