Paphos Life

Any information regarding flu and Covid jabs this year
, usually I get them done at the general hospital in Paphos
Thank you in advance Lefkes

Your GP will give you a flu jab, not sure about covid though

There is a notice in Paphos general hospital down the corridor from reception on Friday from 8am until 2pm Covid and flu jabs will be available same as last year.
Cheers they will give both together if you want.

Just as a matter of interest, are these jabs free in Cyprus for the elderly?

This year in the UK, as I understand it, they are only being given free, to people over the age of 75, or in an 'at risk' category.

They have certainly been free for me over recent years. But I am in my 80's

They've always been free for us, and we've been here 21 years....

Just as a point of interest, we heard that Flu and Covid jabs can be given at the same time. Apparently this is quite normal now in the UK. We asked our GP about this on Wednesday when we had our Flu jab, and she recommends at least 2 weeks between. However, it's a matter of choice.....

I had mine together, no problem.

Going to see Dr Nicholas, formally of We Care but now at the Iasis tomorrow for our flu jab. Last year he recommended a one month interval between our flu and Covid jabs.

I had my Flu jab yesterday at my GP's surgery.. No waiting at all..

I will be going soon to the General Hospital for a covid jab

Is it only on a Friday that flu/covid jabs are available at Paphos General ? Thanks for any info.

At the General there's a sign outside where they do the Flu/Covid jabs saying only on Fridays.I think its from 10am to 2pm. I went a week last Friday at 1.30pm, only 2 people waiting and was done and out in about 15 minutes.There is a ticket machine on the wall next to the door. Make sure you take one to get in the queue as they call you out by numbers.

For those who haven't been before you go in the entrance where the main reception is and turn right down the corridor. The clinic is about 15 metres on the left.

Thank you for that very, helpful information.

No appointment necessary at my GP in Chlorakas.

Just walk in and wait 2-3 minutes for flu jab.

It appears that the jabs work.

Never had Covid as far as I'm aware, but last week I lost my voice, followed by an elevated temperature, and nasty chest infection. Spent the week looking after my cats, and crawling back to bed. Don't have a diagnosis, but I only know of one other person with the same symptoms as me, but without the chest infection, It may have been the latest Covid bug who knows, but if it was, then seeing that I'm still here, and improving, it was worth having the jabs.

Stay well everyone.

Speedy recovery Firefly.

Thank you Dominic.
