Just a quick query. Does anyone have any suggestions for obtaining a flu jab for my stepdaughter? She is visiting from the US and should have had one before leaving. We live in Belfast and I was wondering if my GP could sell me one?(GP is currently closed for the holidays)
Thanks all

Bell NHS Direct; they might help. GP should be open today anyway...

Many pharmacists in the UK will give flu jabs.
Even Asda and Tesco do them !! Check them on line :)

yep most of the big community pharmacies will sell (and administer one) for about a tenner.
You could sweet talk your GP, but he may find two things problematic:
1) She's not Irish (I'm assuming)
2) She may not fit the clinical criteria.
Probably easier to visit Mr Tesco.:)

How old? Was reading in the paper today that many chemists/supermarket pharmacies won't vaccinate <18 some <16 even with parents there.
