There was a massive push, with special walk-in clinics, no appointment necessary, at Rhyddings surgery.

Didn't see anyone refused, whilst I sat daily, this past five weeks.

I'd create a stink, if I was you Cashy.

Because Asthma is one of the disorders which CAN be affected very badly with the flu, If I didn't a reaction to it I would have it every year

I was a little worried at first, them being a religious, but in reality that means they don't refer people seeking terminations.

They are kind, caring, and good at their job.

I've never felt in safer hands.

Did the nurses dress up in flu jab t-shirts at your surgery as well?

They certainly made a big push in promoting it.
