Have you been able to get the flu jab for your LO's this year? I've just called our GP and unless your child has an underlying medical condition, they can't give you one. I even offered to pay for it and they said no. I was told to call Morrisons and ask them, but they can't give them to anyone under 18 because of insurance reasons. Is this happening where you are?

Chronically hilarious - you'll split your stitches!
I wrote a book! Bucket list CHECK!

It may not be common in the UK but it is very common in the US. Both my kids have received theirs (ds got the mist and dd got the shot). I find this aggravating about the UK, actually. When I lived there I would just get one when I would come home to visit. I don't understand why they wouldn't want to protect people, especially in a country where so many people take public transportation.
Maybe try smaller pharmacies? I know our local one offers the jab, though I don't know if they offer it to under 18s. M got it because she's 'at risk', but we're not worrying about William.
And it's just a joy of socialised healthcare to not get offered these things, like yearly smears.
I'm offered them yearly because of the prevalence of cancer that runs through my family. I know it's not the same for everyone though!
Sometimes if you offer to pay your GP they'll do it anyway. Did you mention that already? I am now at the bottom of the thread and hit reply so I can only see the last reply and I can't remember if you said this. We paid for a couple of vaccines for Bruce out of pocket, meaning the dr. wrote a rx for us we filled it privately and then brought them in to be held in their fridge and administered by the nurse there. We did hep B and rotavirus.
Yeah its very unusual in the UK for adults to get a flu shot let alone children.
Most GP's will not do it.
