will you be told if you need one, or is it up to you to ask?
i was watching something on the news about the jabs and the priority groups, and i think i fit into at least one, but no one's ever suggested to me that i might need to have one.
do i need to go ask about them, or just assume if it's not been mentioned it's probably cause i don't need one?
also, is it too late in the year?

If you think you are in the 'at risk' group phone up your surgury and ask.
but most people who are deemed to be at risk should have letters sent to them advising about flu jabs.
what are the risks? (obviously apart from getting flu)
it says in my patient info leaflet that this can increase the chances of you catching stuff, but also mask the symptoms. so how do you know if you've got something?
Mind you, although i have asthma, i didn't even get asked why i needed/wanted one.no wonder they have run out!
