Not me. PD says keep an eye on her FB for news/availability.

We had ours about 5/6 weeks ago, I think we were lucky to get in early as there was a waiting list after we’d booked.

Was this at the General Hospital and do you have to visit to make the appointment ??

It was done privately the Coral Bay clinic. I think the cost was €15 but with all the stuff that’s going around it was one less thing to worry about (if they work)

Hi Trev

The hospital (at least so far as the Pafos General is concerned) is no longer administering flu vaccinations. I was told that they are now carried out by your GESY GP.

Hope this helps

Thank You Aphrodite, we will make enquiries there

Hi Trev, I should have worded my post differently. I was actually advised by the hospital when I went to enquire when the vaccine would be available. Trying to save you a wasted trip!

My wife and I went to see our doctors yesterday for them to complete documentation so that we can exchange our driving licences. I asked about the flu jab. She told me that all doctors were promised delivery of vaccine by 31st October. No deliveries had yet been received.

Personnel doctor phoned at 3 40 this afternoon, flu injection was available now,went straight to see him back home by 4 05. Couldn't have had better service privately.
