00:00Yeah, I've had the flu jab, unfortunately not had the flu, so yeah I'm fine. I've only had a cold, so that's really good.
00:08I've not experienced any wait times, but I know from the news that they are really bad at the moment.
00:14It's the ambulances having to wait outside when they should be going to emergencies and they're not able to get there.
00:21So I've never had flu. I am bunged up with a really bad virus at the moment, but I don't have much faith in the flu jabs
00:28because I know people have had them and have got ill from the jab, then probably not possibly having flu.
00:33And I think with flu there's so many different variants of it, I don't feel like a jab is going to sort you out for all of them.
00:39Yeah, I've got the flu jab, I've got the Covid jab and I was probably one of the first ones to go into the pharmacy to get it.
00:47Waiting times, I can't really say because thankfully I've not experienced that.
00:52I've always been prepared to wait if I did actually need to go to Mayonnaise.
