Letters, calls and emails: There's no flu vaccine shortage at Superdrug

27 October 2006

Dear Editor

Can anybody explain why we have to wait until December to get our full allocation of NHS flu jabs, but Boots and Superdrug can get apparently limitless supplies for anybody at £15 a time?

It seems wrong that those who wish to pay seem to be able to access a stockpile.
