Flu jabs..

in Lockdown! Being in the aged bracket we got free flu jabs but today under lockdown we had to park in a particular place and the nurse would come out and give us the needle in the car! I caught her in the middle of jabbing.
Thankful for:
Being in a country that supports the elderly ( if we are brave enough to call ourselves that)

Bob - could be good!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Just a little prick Sir !! He looks quite happy to get the jab !

Snap, Took my Mum and we both had ours today, though none of the nurses even had masks on let alone any other safety gear. I felt like a naughty kid getting out in the car as it was the first time out of our bubble since lockdown. I have to admit I took the long way home as it was so nice being out.

[Carole G]

Had mine on Monday, as being asthmatic I’m classed as high risk. I was allowed into the surgery

[Maggiemae]

@rustymonkey We did too - the long way home, Karen!

[Maggiemae]

@yorkshirekiwi We were told not to get out of the car, Carole!

[Sally Ings]

Cool candid. It's nice to see that they are trying to keep you as safe as possible.

[Valerie Chesney]

We had our flu jab today too, but waited in the surgery until our names were called. no masks & no gloves...but, with chairs well spaced....we are classed as elderly too...ha-ha

[Jane Martin]

Well done, I'm a big believer in the flu jab.

[Karen]

@maggiemae LOL the long way home is really much the same distant as normal but goes round the waterfront. So a nice change.

[Liana Bull]

So there are some advantages in being classed as elderly - even though I have been getting them for years because of my asthma. I got to sit in a chair just inside the pharmacy door a couple of weeks ago to get mine. It was my last social outing - haha.

[Lou Ann]

Oh my! Well we always get our flu shots, too.

[Babs]

Did you get a lollipop for being brave little soldiers?

[Domenico Dodaro]

I’m a big fan of vaccines, even if I am not particularly fond of the thought of a needle poking into my body... This photo could feature on a newspaper: new methods...
@onewing hahaha.

[Krista Marson]

I always get a bad reaction to the flu shot. I'm scared to find out what the covid-19 shot will do to me..

[Diana]

Fabulous shot and wonderful comments :-)

[tony gig]

lovely shot.

[Bep]

Nice candid shot.

[Pat Knowles]

Great idea....would save you the bother of getting out of the car & parking up. You escaped for a bit too....bet you were quite excited!
We just did our clapping for our NHS ....we forget other people have to pay for such things!

[Maggiemae]

@onewing We got an ice cream, Babs - when we got home!

[gloria jones]

Great idea having the needle come to you :)

[Maggiemae]

@happypat The bubble was our car and we were not supposed to go out of it. Good thing our area has no Covid cases!

[Daryl O'Hare]

Always good to get a flu shot!

[katy]

Great shot of the shot!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn You mean: "this shot that I shot is a great shot"?

[Harry J Benson]

good capture

[Taffy]

Looks like a safe way to have this done. Stay healthy!

[Marnie]

Great idea Babs. Our clinic has run out of the 65+ shots and doesn't know when more will be available. Fortunately, I'd registered myself at the chemists' and got a call yesterday giving me an appointment in 12 days time. Not ideal, but I'm very relieved to know I'm close to getting my jab. The pharmacy is scheduling the flu shot after the shop shuts to minimise risk too.

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic 12 days! They ran out here too but after about a week we got the phone call. I had to put on my pearls for this outing!

[haskar]

Great candid shot.

[Annie D]

I have never had a flu shot

[katy]

@maggiemae That is precisely what I meant!!!

[Marnie]

@maggiemae Not good, but since the medical clinic seems to have no idea of when they'll have any vaccine, a definite date sounds much better to me. Great idea to glam up for your Big Outing.
