Hi
Can anyone advise please?
Mums been in a care home since February and always would normally have had a flu jab by now while living in her own home. She hasn't received one as yet in the care home as yet although I know of people at work who have had theirs.
It seems rather late now, I contacted the home in Sept to ask when the residents would be getting them and received no response. I contacted them again today and they said they contacted the Drs who was unable to tell them when the flu jab would be given and suggested I might have more success!
I rang the Drs who told me that the district nurse had the vaccines but they couldn't tell me when they were going to the home which seems ridiculous!!
I wonder what other people's experiences are?
On the whole have residents had their vaccinations by now?
It just seems irresponsible to have not to have given it to these vulnerable residents by now .
