It all happened much as usual around here (South Suffolk).

So, I was still considering having my (first ever, at 63) flue jab,
based on the general advice here but that feeling didn't seem to
filter though to the Mrs, who took a phone call on the land line and
hung up before I could find out who ./ what it was ...

'Oh, it something to do with the flu jab but you didn't want one did
you ...'

So, the last time I tried to phone our surgery I started at 13 in the
queue and got though about an hour later ... only to be told I'd have
to phone again the next morning as all the 'call-you-back' virtual
appointments had been taken?

'Erm, can't we just go on a list and the doctor phone us back when he
get's round to us ... '? Apparently not ... and we've not bothered
since. ;-(

So, is the flu jab still relevant ... are they still doing it ...
assuming it hasn't all run out etc?
