Booster in the left arm, flu jab in the right, stuck in the middle with me
Quite bombarded with texts and emails from NHS and my GP apropos of this year's round of flu jab and Covid booster - I'd originally booked my flu shot for this morning and then got a text from my GP offering the booster and possibility of concurrent flu shot this pm, so canceled the first appointment and boogeyed on down to the health centre this arvo.
Hordes of people, though pretty much all masked and fairly distancing, and the queue wasn't as bad as the last time even if it did take quite some while (well past the time I'd booked for) to get to the actual, um, point.
This time it was the Pfizer.
