2018 Flu Voucher

south London postie · Post by **south London postie** » 28 Sep 2018, 14:01

Doesn't actually say the jab is free, just that you have an "opportunity" to get it at Lloyds Pharmacy. Even has a voucher, still doesn't say its free.

Keeps repeating the NHS jab is free (if you're over 65 - thank for that!) but never uses 'free' in relation to this 'offer' ...

Anyone know?

I won't be using it, I've no idea what it is that's in it, no idea how much mercury or other poisons that are in there.
Anyway it's only a guess as to which virus it'll be effective against.

In the "Terms and conditions" section at the bottom, the 3rd point states

"This voucher entitles you to a free flu vaccination which is funded by Royal Mail, subject to eligibility and availability"

Noticed that but no problem using it this afternoon. Pharmacist noticed the 1st October validity, but I just told her that it is valid from 24th September. She scanned the voucher ok at the til, got me to fill a form in then took me through for the jab.

Surely if flu vaccine stocks are limited, it's best to use them for those who need them, e.g. elderly, infirm rather than using them up on posties?
