      Sorry to hear that @wiseowl, but I'm afraid I did suspect it to be the case. All the fit folks have gone and got all the vaccines ahead of us!

        @wiseowl - Mrs C suggests you try a Boots chemist as they have a limited supply coming in.

          Thank God we have such an efficient police service. Shame they can't do the same with drug dealers, thieves and thug's.

                The best of it is, the customer could just as easily have been one of their staff, just finished a double shift and starving hungry.... bus drivers, nurses, plumbers, sparkies all work long hard hours and eat late in the evening.

                Worse for me, not only did they do it, but they chose to boast about it on Twitter!

                  My Surgery has a tape message waiting for you when you phone, telling you that they do not accept applications for prescriptions via the phone and then you're told to ring your local Pharmacist who will take the order and then pass it onto the Surgery:wallbanging::doh:

                    My local pharmacy isn't very good either, they rummage around looking for your prescription for ages, they dont seem to have a system that works, and it doesn't matter how long its been there they rarely have it ready and they ask, "are you going to wait, it will be 15 minutes", you darn't say no, I'll pick it up later as that means another long wait outside a bit later.

                    The other crazy thing is they wont let more than two people in at a time, so two people waiting 15 mins means nothing happens for 15 minutes.
                    Its another covid cop out, and an excuse to slow everything down and basically do bugger all.

                    I thought doctors had to sign a prescription, surely the pharmacy cant just hand out stuff without a signed prescription.

                    They always ask you to speak out and confirm your personal details like name, DOB and address for all to hear. So much for privacy

                      All surgeries, chemists and health centres are not providing Flu Jags this year
                      Everyone has to dial the one number and request a time
                      Each town has one venue, mainly concert halls or unused theatres
                      It is just about impossible to get a place now, and that is initially for the vunerable and over 65's
                      then reducing to 50's
                      Imagine when it is a Covid 19 vac for everyone if they can not cover this Flu Jag

                        It's closer than we think...

                        In an interview with CBS' Face the Nation, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said that the status of the COVID-19 vaccine would be known by the company by end of October. If safe, effective and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, the vaccine could be distributed to Americans before the end of 2020.

                          I order my prescription by phone to the Pharmacist, pete, who then e-mails the Surgery, who then gets the Doctor to sign a prescription, then keep the signed doc and e-mail the Pharmacist back approving the prescription:dunno::doh:
