GPs to get bigger bonuses if they meet swine flu jab targets | Mail Online

GPs are in line for huge bonuses if they manage to persuade large numbers of their patients to sign up to the swine flu jab, it has emerged.

I personally would not have it, read about it first before you decide

Had the flu jab last week, when I asked about the swine flu jab I was told that they only had 500 and that although I am regarded as a front line worker
I would have to wait till the next batch comes in.
Still waiting.

A lot of nurses in the hospital said the same thing a few months ago and the majority of them have taken it after reading the literature that we were given.  I watched to see how they got on before going for it myself.

Still no serious symptoms and arm is only sore if I touch it.

Mike....if you are frontline staff can you get it at your local hospital?   I know I met some social care staff that I worked with in the hospital r eporting for the jab.

Mike .. would you have got the two at once if it was offered?
I got flu jab at a diabetic visit and they did not have te other.  Got the swine flu one at the hospital where I work.

Heather, yes I would have had the two at once if it was offered and thanks for the Hospital tip I will give them a try.
PS, I am a domiciliary care worker working with the physically and mentally disabled.

Your employer should be able to tell you if you are able to a hospital.
The two ladies I spoke of work with Social work dept in Learning disabilities and were obviously told to go to the hospital.

Still no symptoms!!!!!

I have had my jag and survived.  I would recommend going for it but only you can decide what is right for you.
My daughter had it and was really ill with it. One guy at work was off for three weeks
I had what might have been a mild dose as did my husband and grandson.  
Several others I have spoken to have had a mild form. I wondered if there was any point to it but I work in a hospital and have close contact with vulnerable people so I felt I had a duty to go for it.
